    getCurrentPosition() is a future method, It will take some time to get the data. But using currentposition! on LatLng seeking it on 1st frame which is causing the issue.

    Best option will be using FutureBuilder for this. Also you can do a null check

    options: MapOptions(
center: currentposition == null
    ? null
    : LatLng(
        currentposition!.latitude,
        currentposition!.longitude,
      ),

    The method getCurrentPosition() is Future method, it will take some time to fetch the data, so what you can do is you can use the FutureBuilder to resolve the issue another solution is to add the initial latitude and longitude values in the start of executing build method like below-mentioned example and when you get both values (lat/long) through current positions at that time you can update your UI

     @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    LatLng initialPosition = LatLng(0, 0); // Default position

    if (currentposition != null) {
      initialPosition = LatLng(
        currentposition!.latitude,
        currentposition!.longitude,
      );
    }

    return YourWidgetTree();
