Hi! I think I know what's happening here.


When you search for a location on Google in Chrome, tap "directions" and then tap the button that takes you to the Google Maps iPhone app, your most recent tab will be the link that opens the navigation in Maps. The next time you launch Chrome, it will return to that tab and reload the navigation in the Maps app.


I just tried this, and for me it seemed to work to return to Chrome after it's opened up Maps and close the tab that's launching the navigation. If that doesn't work, I would advise you look for support from Chrome/Google as this is an interaction between two Google applications.
