How can I use Maps offline on iPhone 12 mini?

Is it just me ? I just do not find how to VIEW offline maps in the new Maps App. I can download the maps I want, but once offline I have not found a way to VIEW them when I choose them in my list of downloaded maps. The answer might be obvious, but for some reason, I just cannot seem to be able to view them.

This Apple article does not seem to give me the answer either. How to download maps to use offline on your iPhone - Apple Support

Thanks for the help.

Yep to KaeBFly,

For some reason I was looking for some button to click to open my offline maps.

So the answer is simply to use the app as usual and I can then zoom in, even if offline.

Obvious, but I guess I'm too complicated 🙂

THANKS !
