You can substitute Google Maps with this wrapper app: https://f-droid.org/packages/us.spotco.maps/
It accesses the web version of Gmaps and doesn't use your personal account. Just in case someone is concerned with privacy using this.
Then you can share the same way directly into OSMand for example.
I usually open the Google Maps Web in an incognito window. But I'd definitely try the App you recommended.
Just a quick question, if you happen to know the App workings - Does this App clears the data of web-view on close? Or the Search history persists over the usage? Apart from the android app data clear option, is there any internal auto-clear option?
Not sure, it doesn't look like it keeps history because it also keeps asking me about keeping cookies or not pretty much every time. Maybe because I always reject.
