Xamarin.Forms.Maps has a lot of great features! One of them is the easy ability to get coordinates from just a tap on the map. Also, it has a geocoder built-in! That means you can get addresses from coordinates and vice versa.

In this video we will see all of that and as a bonus how to move the map to a certain region!
