Google maps not loading route (iPhone)

Bug report

Current behavior:

Launching google maps on iOS (iPhone) will result in a endless loading spinner. The gps coordinates are shown correctly but the location is never resolved. When changing to e.g. 'walking' and back to 'driving', the route gets loaded properly. Same code on iPad works fine.

Expected behavior:

Google maps should load the route instantly.

Steps to reproduce:

Make sure to have google maps closed. Launch via this plugin by latitude and longitude coordinates on iPhone (iOS 13)

This plugin has no control over the internal behaviour of the Google Maps app - it simply invokes and launches it via its custom URL scheme. Therefore there's nothing that could be done by this plugin to affect whether the spinner appears or the location resolves.

@capc0 I'm experiencing the same issue but agree with @dpa99c that this isn't a plug-in issue. I've posted an issue to the Google Maps issue tracker here: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/144150442

@dpeacock Btw my workaround was to explicity pass a starting position. Requested the current position first and then forwarded it to this plugin

@capc0 thanks, that's a decent workaround for now :)
