   We cut the number of steps in half, but we didn't cut it to one tap yet.   
   Luckily, it takes only a minute of your time to cut the steps in half.   
      
   Note that this turned out to be overly complex in presentation but super   
   simple in the end, given that any function can be made a single-tap   
   shortcut if the system allows a non-privileged user to create it.   
      
   What caught me off guard was that I had assumed Shizuku would temporarily   
   elevate me to privileged status for running tools like App Ops, Permission   
   X, or Automate. However, as far as I've been able to determine, this has   
   not proven true, though my testing has been limited and Shizuku may   
   still work in some cases (particularly when I add Llamalab's automation).   
      
   After much effort trying to toggle an app's runtime "Use precise location"   
   switch, I have learned more than expected about Samsung/Android security.   
   It appears impossible to defeat current Android security in order to toggle   
   that switch directly, though I still hope automation may provide a path.   
      
   Current status (without automation):   
    Settings > Apps > Maps > Permissions > Location > Use precise location   
   becomes:   
    shortcut > Permissions > Location > Use precise location   
      
   Cutting six steps in half was done with Shortcut Maker 4.2.2   
    set to these two values alone:   
    Action = android.settings.APPLICATION_DETAILS_SETTINGS   
    Data   = package:com.google.android.apps.maps   
      
   You can then place this into your existing shortcut folder:   
    Maps precise location one-tap shortcut   
    OSMAnd~ precise location one-tap shortcut   
    SatStat precise location one-tap shortcut   
    GPS to SMS precise location one-tap shortcut   
    Google location accuracy one-tap shortcut   
    Wi-Fi scanning one-tap shortcut   
    Bluetooth scanning one-tap shortcut   
    Improve precise location one-tap shortcut   
    etc.   
      
   Note this important distinction despite the similar names:   
    "Use precise location" (per-app) = allows that app GPS access   
    "Improve precise location"       = allows Google to collect broader   
                                       location data from nearby devices   
      
   The end result is that anyone can cut the number of steps in half to get to   
   the precise location toggle for any given app, but going farther is harder.   
      
   I'll probably put this on the back burner for now since it took far longer   
   (due to many failures) than I had hoped, but the good news is cutting the   
   steps in half takes all of a minute or two once you know what's above.
