   After a few dead ends (e.g., QuickShortcutMaker can't make custom   
   shortcuts), I used Shortcut Maker 4.2.2    
      
   This created a custom shortcut that I had full control over.   
   1. Open Shortcut Maker 4.2.2    
   2. On the main screen, tap the purple "Intents" icon   
      That will display all the pre-defined intent templates   
      that are installed on your device to hook into things.   
   3. Tap the + in a box icon at the top.   
      That will display an "Edit Intent" form   
       Action =   
       Package Name =   
       Class Name =   
       Data =   
       Mime Type =   
       Extras =   
       Flags =   
       Categories =   
   4. Set only Action & Data   
       Action = android.settings.APPLICATION_DETAILS_SETTINGS   
       Data = package:com.google.android.apps.maps   
   5. Tap Save (which is the checkmark icon at the top right).   
   6. Your new intent will appear where you can fix a few things   
       [Try this Shortcut]   
        Intents (tap to edit the label) -> Maps App Info   
        Icon (tap to edit icon)   
        Open with Default (tap to change)   
        Intents = package:com.google.android.apps.maps   
                  (this line is just repeating the data field)   
        Shortcut Lock = off   
        Shortcut Fix = on   
       [Create Shortcut]   
   7. Tap the "Create Shortcut" button.   
   8. It will allow cosmetic edits   
   9. And then it will ask you to place it on your homescreen   
   10. When you tap it, it goes to the Google Maps "App info" screen.   
   11. Place this into your shortcuts folder on your home screen.   
   12. I placed mine alongside my shortcuts to "Location services"   
       and "Improve Location Accuracy" to check them easily.   
      
   If you want to repeat this process above for other apps to set the precise   
   location, the only thing you change is the package name in the Data field.   
      
   For example:   
    For SatStat:   
     Data = package:com.vonglasow.michael.satstat   
    For OSMAnd~   
     Data = package:net.osmand.plus   
    For GPS to SMS   
     Data = package:ru.perm.trubnikov.gps2sms   
      
   Given there are a billion intents on any given Android device, to FIND your   
   intent, a year from now, inside of Shortcut Maker, will be miserable.   
      
   You can't find them by label or searching on the label.   
    Nor by adding key/value pairs in Extras.   
    Nor even piggybacking on the Data URI since Android ignores them!   
     Data = package:com.google.android.apps.maps#abcdefg   
     Data = package:com.google.android.apps.maps?tag=abcdefg   
      
   So you just have to know how to recreate them if you can't find them.   
      
   Save this, and you can open up anything your system will let you.   
   In a single tap.
