Add a Map Page

Map

Add a map on the device home page that shows the location of a selected device. The map should be either hidden by default or it can be displayed by default. The user can have control of that by enabling or disabling the option. The first time the app runs we can display by default and give the user an option to hide it. The state should remain unless the user changes it. - @jagomez16

• [x] Add a new xaml + cs page for the map.
• [ ] Add google maps inside our application
• [ ] Add registered devices on top of the map.
• [x] Added Google maps Package
• [ ] OpenGL ES v2 – The application must declare the requirement for OpenGL ES v2.
• [ ] Google Maps API Key
• [ ] Request the legacy Apache HTTP client – Apps that target Android 9.0 (API level 28) or above must specify that the legacy Apache HTTP client is an optional library to use.
• [ ] Access to the Google Web-based Services – The application needs permissions to access Google's web services that back the Android Maps API.
• [ ] Permissions for Google Play Services Notifications – The application must be granted permission to receive remote notifications from Google Play Services.
• [ ] Access to Location Providers – These are optional permissions. They will allow the GoogleMap class to display the location of the device on the map.

Very old versions of the Google Play SDK required an app to request the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission. This requirement is no longer necessary with the recent Xamarin bindings for Google Play Services.
