getter error while using Geofire to query

Question

I am trying to query database using geoflutterfire. Everything seems to work well but when i query, i get this error: The latitude and longitudes are gotten programmatically from geolocator plugin, yet flutter throws the error below.

 E/flutter ( 3310): [ERROR:flutter/lib/ui/ui_dart_state.cc(157)] Unhandled Exception: NoSuchMethodError: The getter 'latitude' was called on null.

Could someone explain what the problem is? All my coordinates are correctly acquired and stored on firestore.

The query was called on initState and it gave the above error and don't produce any result on the google Map

 _startQuery() async {
    try {
      // Get querying phone location
      var pos = await geoLocator.getCurrentPosition();
      double userLatitude = pos.latitude;
      double userLongitude = pos.longitude;
      // get center points from users location
      GeoFirePoint center = geoflutterfire.point(
          latitude: userLatitude, longitude: userLongitude);
      stream = radius.switchMap((rad) {
        //make a firestore reference
        var ref = _firestore.collection('myLocation');
        //query data from firestore
        return geoflutterfire.collection(collectionRef: ref).within(
            center: center, radius: rad, field: 'position', strictMode: true);
      });
    } catch (e) {
      print(e);
    }
  }
