Live food delivery tracking in Xamarin

Hello,
I'm developing an application in Xamarin forms C# where a user will be able to track the delivery driver live just like any other food delivery applications offer here.
Need help as this is the first time I'm developing in Xamarin.

Hi, I'm okay with Google maps too.
Example:
I'll receive orders on my app and it'll be redirected to a checkout, post payment, a driver live location tracker will come up which will allow the end user to track the delivery of their food/products.
Let me know if Live tracking can be achieved in Xamarin using xamarin.googlemaps

Hi, @86887435

What is your app scenario?
Want to use the features of Azure Maps on your Xamarin Forms application? Or do you want to simply embed a map? Do you just collect location information?

First, the Azure Maps SDK is available on the web and native iOS and Android, not for Xamarin.
If you want to embed Azure Maps into your mobile application, you need to use the Azure Maps API or bind native libraries.
This scenario is a bit advanced and is not recommended if you are new to developing with Xamarin.
https://docs.microsoft.com/ja-jp/xamarin/ios/platform/native-interop

Next, if you just want to collect the location information of the mobile app, you can just send the information to the web server using the GeoLocation function.

If you just want to embed a map in your mobile app, we recommend starting with standard map controls.

Then, as more advanced features and scenarios arise, you can consider using Azure Maps.
