I released v2.2.1-beta2.

And you should call Map.MyLocationEnabled = true.
Could you try below code with v2.2.1-beta2?

public partial class BasicMapPage : ContentPage
{
    public BasicMapPage()
    {
        InitializeComponent();

        map.MyLocationEnabled = true;  // <-- added
        map.UiSettings.MyLocationButtonEnabled = true;
    }
}

Still it is not working for me even with v2.2.1-beta2.

Try add MyLocationEnabled = "true" in Xaml.

@deextercz ,
I can not reproduced.
I added below code in XFGoogleMapSample, works fine.

// CustomMap.cs
using System;

namespace XFGoogleMapSample
{
    public class CustomMap : Xamarin.Forms.GoogleMaps.Map
    {
        public CustomMap()
        {
            MyLocationEnabled = true;
            UiSettings.MyLocationButtonEnabled = true;
        }
    }
}

// BasicMapPage.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<ContentPage
    xmlns="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"
    xmlns:cmaps="clr-namespace:XFGoogleMapSample;assembly=XFGoogleMapSample"
    x:Class="XFGoogleMapSample.BasicMapPage"
    Title="BasicMap">
    <ContentPage.Content>
        <cmaps:CustomMap x:Name="map"
                  InitialCameraUpdate="-23.68, -46.87, 13, 30, 60"
                  VerticalOptions="FillAndExpand" />
    </ContentPage.Content>
</ContentPage>

// BasicMapPage.xml.cs
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;

using Xamarin.Forms;
using Xamarin.Forms.GoogleMaps;

namespace XFGoogleMapSample
{
    public partial class BasicMapPage : ContentPage
    {
        public BasicMapPage()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }
    }
}
