   1. In Muntashirakon AM, I look up "Permission usage"   
         
   2. "Permission usage" has a "Main Activity"   
         
   3. That opens a "Permission usage" page which has recent permissions   
   4. One of which can be "Location" & then "Maps" & "Location Permission"   
      
   Tracking that with  Shortcut Widgets & Inspector, that sequence   
   appears to have invoked the following Activities on my Samsung Galaxy.   
      
   A. One UI Home   
      
   B. Permission usage   
      
   C. Permission usage   
      
   D. Permission controller   
      
      
   When I use Muntashirakon AM to create that last desktop shortcut, it opens   
   the "Permission usage" screen, where, from there, I can sequence   
   a. Location (which has every app recently requesting location   
   b. Maps (which has a toggle for "Use precise location")   
      
   But that's three taps to access the "Use precise location" toggle. :(   
   i. Tap the shortcut to the permission controller activity   
   ii. Tap Location   
   iii. Tap Maps (which has the desired precise-location toggle)   
      
   What can I do to make this a single tap shortcut to get to the deeply   
   hidden "Maps" "Location permission" "Use precise location" toggle?
