Hello Molee,


That may be as good as it can manage as far as the map goes. Airpods don't have GPS so locating relies upon Bluetooth which is not very directional specific and just tells you they are within a hundred feet of where the iPhone last detected them. To narrow them down in your house, tell them to play a sound and listen for it.
