To those experiencing this issue, it appears to be a problem with having "saddr=" portion of the URL blank or leaving it off the URL altogether, cross-platform or not, when Google Maps app is closed on iOS 13. I was able to get around this issue (temporarily?) by adding "saddr=My+Location&" to the URL. Not sure how stable that is, since "My+Location" seems weak, but perhaps you can get the lat/lng of your starting point and try something like "saddr={0},{1}&", where {0},{1} is the users current location.
My full string (in C#) is this:
"comgooglemaps://maps.google.com/?saddr=My+Location&daddr={0},{1}&directionsmode=driving "
But, "https://" and "comgooglemapsurl://" work here too.
To the devs, please fix this :)

Description
Issue report
----------------
Problem - Infinite load when using the display directions URL to open Google Maps.
What steps will reproduce the problem? Please provide a link to a
demonstration page if at all possible, or attach code.
1. Ensure the google Maps app will perform a cold start. (Shouldn't be in background)
2. Open the google maps app via the display directions url w/o providing the saddr parameter or leaving it blank. I used the following url: comgooglemaps://?&saddr=&daddr=47.612654,-122.329315
3. Observe the loading indicator will continue to load indefinitely.
Test was run on an iPhone XS running iOS 13.0
I'd be happy to provide any additional information you'd need. Thanks in advance for looking into this.
