Looking for way to share location data between apps

It is unnecessarily difficult to share geo data between apps. Pick a location in one app and share it with your navigation app? Nope. Park the car in maps and send the location to your smart watch? Nope. Apart from a few exceptions, it is all just impossible. I don't know if it's by design to keep you from using a competitors app, or if there is just no good standard for geo data in Android, but I needed some 3rd party app to convert the geo data for me. I used Map2Geo (catfish.android.map2geo) plus the 'url injector' (catfish.android.map2geo.urlinjector) by Catfish for that. For a while life was uncomplicated. Then, Map2Geo got removed from the Play Store, even though it looks clean . There is a mirror with the original description , but I don't trust unofficial sources. Now I have become increasingly frustrated not being able to do simple things that I know are technically possible. I have searched everywhere for an alternative method of achieving something that could be called "universal sharing of geo data between apps". I can't even find others asking the same question. Am I missing something obvious? Is there a trick, plugin, hack or a tool similar to map2geo that does the conversion between apps locally?
