Create a URL to open Apple Maps to directions between two points.

This Shortcut utilizes all native actions (for the moment) to construct a native URL via itty.bitty.site and Apple Maps' URL scheme which can be used as a hyperlink/from a web browser to launch the Apple Maps app (cross-platform) open in a directions view between two points of your specification. At the moment, specifying said locations is done via two unprompted Location actions.

Upon running the Shortcut:

1. Choose a Start location.
2. Choose a Destination location.
3. Choose to have the URL open Apple Maps in one of three modes:
   1. Driving directions
   2. Walking directions
   3. Public transit directions

The URL will then be constructed and placed in the system clipboard via a standard Copy to Clipboard action.
