redirect causes map to fail

I have a page that gets criteria including current location using javascript.
I then construct a url with parameters and launch another page using apex redirect to show a map - but it doesn't draw the map.
Yet, when I launch the page directly using the constructed URL, the map appears.
When sandbox laucnches it, a complex URL is displayed.
What is happenning and how can I remedy it?
I have festooned my code with console logs and system logs but can't see why it fails.
Please help.

Hi Shiva,

It turns out to be at a fundamental level.
I added a simple VF Page and launched it from a button I added to the account page.
The URL is bizarre: 
https://mysandboxname.lightning.force.com/one/one.app#eyJjb21wb25lbnREZWYiOiJvbmU6YWxvaGFQYWdlIiwiYXR0cmlidXRlcyI6eyJhZGRyZXNzIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly92aXJ0dWFsd29ybGRzLS10cmlnZ2VydGVzLS1jLmNzODcudmlzdWFsLmZvcmNlLmNvbS9hcGV4L1BhZ2VPcGVuZWRGcm9tQnV0dG9uP2lkPTAwMThFMDAwMDBWbVpmRFFBViJ9fQ%3D%3D
When this in turn launches another page, the URL is corrupted.

Instead of "/https://mysandboxname--c.cs87.visual.force.comapex/DrawMap?lat=37.77493&lon=-122.419416"

The URL= "https://mysandboxname--c.cs87.visual.force.com/apex/PageOpenedFromButton?id=0018E00000VmZfDQAV&isdtp=p1"
it attempts to open an account page (I think)..

The system debug shows correct URL: launchMap with /apex/DrawMap?lat=37.77493&lon=-122.419416

My code is:

Page Opened from button VF Page:
<apex:page standardcontroller="account" extensions="LaunchMapController" > <apex:form >
<apex:CommandLink action="{!launchAnotherPage}" Value="Launch Another Page..."  target="_blank"/>
</apex:form> </apex:page>

Function from controller:

public PageReference launchAnotherPage(){
    
     gotLat = '37.77493';
     gotLon = '-122.419416';        
    pageref = '/apex/DrawMap?lat='+gotLat + '&lon='+ gotLon;    
    system.debug('launchMap with '+pageref);
    
        PageReference redirect = new PageReference(pageref); 
        redirect.setRedirect(false);
        return redirect;
    }

Can you suggest how to resolve this?

Many thanks.
