That's weird/wrong. You should instead use the Google APIs Add-on emulator 
image:

First thing to double check is that you provided the correct keystore to Google 
to get the API key. For ease of getting started, Mono for Android creates a 
debug.keystore file, which is referenced here:

        
http://docs.xamarin.com/Android/Guides/Platform_Features/Maps_and_Location/Obtaining_a_Google_Maps_API_Key#Step_1_-_Obtaining_your_Signing_Key_Fingerprint

However, unless you're working alone, I cannot actually recommend using that 
file (because it'll be different for everyone on your team!). I would instead 
suggest creating a new keystore file for use by your team, and storing it in a 
Well Know Location:

        
http://docs.xamarin.com/Android/Guides/Deployment%2C_Testing%2C_and_Metrics/publishing_an_application/Part_1_-_Preparing_an_Application_for_Release#Creating_a_Private_Keystore

Then updating the project files to use your new keystore:

I would suggest looking at `adb logcat` output as well, as maps will print 
diagnostic and error messages there which may be helpful.
