"Google maps go" navigator button does not work (lemmy.kde.social)

Hello! I'm trying to make google maps go work on my android smartphone. Google maps go is basically a wrapper of the website, that should provide navigation feature with another app called "navigator for Google maps". I have both installed, but when I click on "navigate in app", the link "maps.app.goo.gl/somethingverylong" is redirected to the play store website instead of being opened with the navigator app. Both apps have all permissions granted. What am I doing wrong?

Bonus question: do I really need the google maps go app or is it also possible to redirect to the navigator app from the browser?
Bonus question #2: would the navigator app work without google play services, on a degoogled rom?

Thanks in advance!

"full" google maps is huge, while just the navigator is way smaller. Also, google maps is installed with privileges that the navigator doesn't have (I think, not sure about this), so I'd rather use the navigator instead of the full maps app
