Google maps directions failing saddr daddr

Question

I am sending directions in emails with this syntax

https://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=58.2835809,12.269723200000044&daddr=58.03126090000001,12.803917500000011+to:58.03126090000001,12.803917500000011+to:58.2583346,12.95071710000002+to:58.2835809,12.269723200000044

This has stopped to work in Android and iPhone but still works in desktop browsers. I have tried to find a solution on the web but failed to do so. Any ideas?

which bit of it's stopped working? Do you see the map, but no directions? Are the directions wrong? Does no map appear at all? — duncan
The map app loads. With an exclamation mark and the text "No results for" and a coordinate list. — Henkemota

That is the "classic" Google Maps directions, it was never documented (by Google). You can use the documented Embed API:

https://www.google.com/maps/embed/v1/directions
  ?key=YOUR_API_KEY
  &origin=58.2835809,12.269723200000044
  &destination=58.03126090000001,12.80391750000001
  &waypoints=58.03126090000001,12.803917500000011|58.2583346,12.95071710000002|58.2835809,12.269723200000044
