I have a somewhat silly question with offline maps in Google Maps. I can download them OK, and I get a list of the offline maps stored on my iPhone, and if I tap the name of a map then I get a small picture of the map in the upper part of the screen. But I cannot open it! If I tap it then nothing happens. There is no button or menu item to open it. Should I sweep the picture of the map in some way? Grateful for help!
iPhone 6, iOS 11.4

Use offline maps
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. You also can't modify routes like avoiding tolls or ferries.
