When adding the Open Address on Map action to a map component… after the action is triggered if the user goes back or closes the 3rd party tool, the app shows a blank screen & the user has to go back to view the screen he was on. This is a bit of annoying UI UX if the app is based on tracking items & locations.

If the same action is triggered from a button or outside the map component, this does not happen.

any special reason for that?

HI Lucas its a glide built in action. Open Address on Map. If your on a mobile device and you add this action to a map component it will link you to your device maps application, but when you go back… you are on a blank screen, not on the map the action was triggered from.
