I am setting the trackPath.setMapth(null); that is clearing the polyline overlay on the map , it is executing at the end of the function I have added here. Here cosole.log(see the function) is being printed first then the trackPath.setMap(null) is clearing.

function play(id, value) {
  clearTimeout(timerForTrack);
  trackPath.setMap(null);
  trackPath = null; // removing this line too makes the same thing
console.log("this is coming first than clearing the track");
  // some commented code
}

I have been working on this work 4 hours. The issue is I need to add a new polyline after clearing that.Any ideas where I am going wrong.

Why is this a problem? Obviously setMap does some async stuff – mplungjan Oct 01 '13 at 16:27

Is the setMap clearing your polyline? If so you may want to use setTimeout on the line – mplungjan Oct 01 '13 at 17:20
