I found out that in May 2017 Google launched a new API for handling Google Maps requests. It is at least more readable and seems more organized to me. It also adds a solution to the problem found in the issue #13 for auto starting navigation. This might also fix the bug #3 for the Google Maps app not starting on iOS, since Google claims this Universal Cross-Platform will work exactly the same in Android and iOS (I don't own an iPhone to check it out myself)
