Direct link to navigate to given location

Description:  It would be great if there would be a URL parameter that can be passed to the ABRP website (and app?) to start planning a route to a given destination, as it is possible with other maps apps (e.g. Google Maps). A possible example would be https://abetterrouteplanner.com/?q=Berlin or https://abetterrouteplanner.com/?q=52.5151,13.3787. This would then start ABRP with that location shown on the map and pre-filled into the destination field.

Use Case: This could be used by third-party apps or websites to share a link to plan your route to a specific location on ABRP, without specifying the exact route (which depends on the starting point, the car, etc.) using the ?plan_uuid parameter. It may also be useful for sharing a destination from within ABRP.

We really like this idea too, it's on our to-do list!  Really helpful for caravanning road trips with friends.

To kind of enhance this request, can you set the app parameters to recognize ABRP as a Map-app?

That'd be a neat feature, I've added it to our to-do list.
