   Voila!     *One-tap shortcuts to any destination you frequent.*   
                  
      
   How to make a one-tap Google Maps homescreen shortcut to any location   
   (without ever needing any login account on the Google servers)   
      
   Illustration:    
      
   1. Shortcut Maker > In-App > Directions (Maps) >   
      [x] Start turn-by-turn navigation   
      Choose destination = 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington DC   
      Shortcut name = US Capitol   
      [Save]   
      
   2. In Shortcut Maker, press on "Create Shortcut".   
      Optionally edit the icon and name as desired.   
      Place onto your homescreen as desired.   
      
   3. To test, tap on that homescreen shortcut.   
      This will start Google Maps routing from your current location   
      to the desired destination (all in a single tap on your phone!).   
      
   Voila!     *One-tap shortcuts to any destination you frequent.*   
                  
      
   BTW - this is especially useful for OSMAnd~ which otherwise requires   
   multiple taps (if you don't create a one-tap shortcut for OSMAnd+).
