Answer 1

I am not very familiar with Google Maps in iOS.
But I don't think its possible to get you current location from the MapView.
You can maybe show it (by enabling an option (showOwnLocation or something similar)).
If you want to do it the right way you have to do it with the CLLocationManager from the iOS SDK. I don't have a sample available right now but if you google it you will find some.
Hopefully this helps you.

You need to get that info from CCLocationManager, like so:
CameraPosition camera = CameraPosition.FromCamera(latitude: App.MyLatitude,
longitude: App.MyLongitude,
zoom:50);
mapView = MapView.FromCamera(CGRect.Empty, camera);
mapView.Settings.ScrollGestures = true;
mapView.Settings.ZoomGestures = true;
mapView.MyLocationEnabled = true;
mapView.MapType = MapViewType.Satellite;
CLLocation loc = iPhoneLocationManager.Location;
// My position
var Marker = new Marker()
{
Title = App.PinTitle,
Snippet = App.PinLabel,
Position = new CLLocationCoordinate2D(latitude: loc.Coordinate.Latitude, longitude: loc.Coordinate.Longitude),
Map = mapView
};
