Restore Apple Maps? Seems impossible

I’ve accidentally deleted Apple Maps. Seems impossible to restore - the normal approach of going to App Store and just pressing download doesn’t work because the only available option is Open


What am I missing? How can I get the icon back on my Home Screen?

The Maps app is probably accidentally removed from the Home Screen, however, still exists in the App Library. The App Library is the last Home Screen on your iPhone when you continue to SWIPE LEFT until you reach it. Once you are in the App Library, then you can search and find the Maps app. Once found, then you can DRAG the app out of there and place it on your favorite spot of the Home Screen.
