Hello,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

We can only set Position Property for map pin .

In your scenario you can get location according to address using Xamarin.Essentials: Geocoding , and then set for pin .

   var address =  "Microsoft Building 25 Redmond WA USA";  
   var locations = await Geocoding.GetLocationsAsync(address);  
     
   var location = locations?.FirstOrDefault();
