There used to be a way to create a short link in Google Maps but
there doesn't seem to be one now (without logging in which I can't do).

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Works for me

click on the "link" button, check the "Short URL" box within the
popup dialogue

What "link" button? None here.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The one that looks like a piece of chain link next to the one that
looks like a printer (in someone's world, anyway). They both have
"pop-up" tool tips telling you what they are for

When I click the "chain link" I get a dialogue with a box to tick to get
a short url.

Today, ticking that box does provide the shortened url as normal.

Yesterday it had no effect, with the long url remaining.

Must have been some sort of glitch.
