I have downloaded a map for offline access on iphone XR, ios 12.1.4, but I cannot open the map. I have read dozens of blogs and search entries, none of which address the specific issue of how to open the map once its been downloaded
Google maps works when you offline. And you have no internet or data connection. You just use it normal when your in that area.

Download areas and navigate offline
If you're going where the Internet is slow, mobile data is expensive, or you can't get online, you can save an area from Google Maps to your phone or tablet and use it when you're offline.
Note: Downloading offline maps isn't available in some regions because of contractual limitations, language support, address formats, or other reasons.

After you download a map, use the Google Maps app just like you normally would. If your Internet connection is slow or absent, Google Maps will use your offline maps to give you directions.
Note: You can get driving directions offline, but not transit, bicycling, or walking directions. In your driving directions, you won't have traffic info, alternate routes, or lane guidance.
If you saved an area as an offline map, there is nothing to access.
the map is data about an area, it will be accessed by the app when you do not have a data connection.
if you mean you saved a route, sorry I have no idea.
Just looking for a specific answer to my specific question. I have been searching the internet for several hours now and have not found out how to actually open the downloaded map from the list of offline maps.
I can't open the downloaded map. The program does not call it data or area - it calls it a map; it even lets me name it! I just can't access it from the offline map list to open it. Nobody seems to use this feature therefor nobody knows how to do it.
The Google Maps link states "You can select your own map to download or view maps you've already downloaded." Except that I can't view the map that is on this list; the only choices that I am presented with is Delete or Update. I want to use the map that I have saved. This is not working like the rest of the Google Map menu works. I am really missing something here...
There is no offline map to open. You will only see it when you have no internet connection. And you open maps in that area you have downloaded.
Contact Google. That's not an Apple product.
Sorry, I was just trying to use my Apple product, on which the Google app resides, which I've read Apple partnered with so I could use the Google product on the Apple product.
Ok you can’t. You have to be in that area of the maps that you have downloaded. Also read the google maps link which will give you all the information.
Sorry I am out of ideas. Call Apple support for further help.
Thank you. I just expected it to work differently.
