I used the Share Location from the gallery and inserted a recipient's contact.
The first time it ran sendingt a text with no map URL/info and even though there was a thread in Messages (via iMessage) with this person already, it was sent in a separate thread and as a text message, not an iMessage.
I tried it later and it was sent in the established thread and as an iMessage with a map URL. But clicking on the URL on both an iPad and in a desktop browser results in this message appearing in a window where the map info should be:
No map link etc.
If this is the result of using a provided shortcut users might be discouraged from exploring.
