Get Userlocation from map control

[TFreudi1]

Description

It would be nice to get the geo-userlocation, which is shown on the map if it is enebaled with IsShowingUser.

Public API Changes

Microsoft.Maui.Controls.Maps map;
map.IsShowingUser = true;
Location loc = map.GetCurrentUserLocation()

Intended Use-Case

Get the current Position without own Location logic and code.

I know you will say it is technically the same, or it is impossible, but it give me different results. I do that and the "OwnPos" which is shown by the map is sometime different (and more accurate) than that what I get from Geolocation with accuracy BEST.

In Android the GoogleMap has a member function getMyLocation(), which is depreceated but still works in a current project. If I use that I don't need all that code arround detecting the geolocation myself. In the screen shot above there is a "New Object here" Button (you don't see it, it is below the map) , if the user click's it currently I get the position from Geolocation, but he said that this is sometimes not the position that google maps shows him on screen. To find the error I additionaly paint a circle with the position from Geolocation and we saw that is sometime different and mostly not that accurate as the "own position" from the google map.
