Yes I can show a svg pin on center of map by absolute layout.
Then get center of google maps plugin by map.VisibleRegion.center.

If I correctly understand you need to place always a pin on the center of the map. From what I understood the center can be get from the camera events (map.VisibleRegion), but such events are not fired if you let the map scroll with a sort of swipe on map using your finger.
The result is a not responsive movement of your centered pin.

I suggest you, instead, to add a above drawing layer. For example I'm using SkiaSharp and it seems to be a good solution

Probably @simonemarra is correct.

Xamarin.Forms.GoogleMaps provides latitude/longitude based API only.
But @mammadkoma 's question is screen based(pixels) rendering.

Therefore, Xamarin.Forms.GoogleMaps does not provide hold pin to center of screen.

How you put SVG in a pin? Cause I am having a problem with that. On iOS in displays only when you go to page second time, and on Android, it crashing. Really appreciate your help.
