My problem statement is to draw a map from the given images whose Latitude and Longitude information is stored in database. Initial point Latitude and Longitude is given and then they will change in every 200 ms. I have to plot a map once and on top of the map I paint the path traveled wrt new changing Latitude and Longitude.
I have plotted the map using JLabel class and then I want to paint upon it. The problem is that in each repaint call old line vanishes and new will draw. I dont want to remove the old line. I have thought of storing all the points in a ArrayList and then appending new points to it and then painting the complete ArrayList after 200 ms. But is there any other more efficient way so that only new line is painted on JLabel and old remains.

Below is certain code I have written to draw the images given the initial images
