Xamarin Maps Pins Invisible - google-maps

Question

I have a very strange issue where the map pins do not show up on the map.
I am using Xamarin.Forms.Maps
I am setting up a map with
map = new CustomMap(
MapSpan.FromCenterAndRadius(
new Position(37, -122), Distance.FromMiles(0.3)), this)
{
IsShowingUser = true,
HeightRequest = 100,
WidthRequest = 960,
VerticalOptions = LayoutOptions.FillAndExpand
};
Then I create an absolute layout and add map to it and set the absoluteLayout to be the content
var absoluteLayout = new AbsoluteLayout
{
BackgroundColor = Color.Red.WithLuminosity(0.9),
VerticalOptions = LayoutOptions.FillAndExpand
};
AbsoluteLayout.SetLayoutBounds(map, new Rectangle(0, 0, 1, 1));
AbsoluteLayout.SetLayoutFlags(map, AbsoluteLayoutFlags.All);
absoluteLayout.Children.Add(map);
absoluteLayout.Children.Add(btn);
Content = absoluteLayout;
I also add an initial pin to the map
PinInfo firstInfo = new PinInfo
{
pinId = "1",
Description = "First Description",
};
var pin = new Pin
{
Type = PinType.Place,
Position = position,
Label = "custom pin",
Address = "custom detail info",
BindingContext = firstInfo,
};
pin.Clicked += async (sender, e) =>
{
await DisplayAlert(pin.Label, "The address is: " + pin.Address, "Cancel");
};
map.Pins.Add(pin);
However, in the app I can see the map, but it is not zoomed to the initial area, adding pins does nothing, and I cannot see the initial Pin.
I've been trying to search online for a very long time now, but for some reason have not found anyone with a similar issue...
Any help is very much appreciated.

Depends on where you are placing your Pin. In other words, what is stored position?
Try the following after adding your Pin:
map.MoveToRegion(MapSpan.FromCenterAndRadius(position, Distance.FromMiles(0.3)));
