Description
The google location urls are used mainly for sharing location in messaging apps like Telegram and Whatsapp. I thought it might be a good idea to support showing the location or navigating to it using installed apps(OsmAnd+ for example).
The URLs I encountered had the following format:
https://maps.google.com/maps?q=xx.xxxxxxxxxxxxx%2Cyy.yyyyyyyyyyyyyy&z=17&hl=en
https://maps.google.com/?q=xx.xxxxxxxxxxxxxx,yy.yyyyyyyyyyyyyy
where xx.xxxx is latitude and yy.yyyy is the longitude

Research direction
Start with the two Google Maps URL formats in the issue and trace how shared location links are handled in the Android implementation; no file or test is named. Done means these URL forms are recognized and the location can be shown or opened for navigation with an installed app such as OsmAnd+.
