It's a known bug on Android. It's working fine on iOS.

Here's the link to the bug report on bugzilla.

A possible workaround would be to show a map pin instead for as long as the bug hasn't been fixed. It goes like this:

map.Pins.Add(new Pin { Label = "You are here",
                       Position = new Position(17.3660, 78.4760) });

UPDATE: This issue has been fixed on Xamarin.Forms.Maps version 1.3.0.6292.

Most platforms require you to request permission to get a users location via GPS.

For Android this is located in the Android Manifest (under project properties). Check both ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION and ACCESS_COURSE_LOCATION.
