1. Switch bottom tab from Explore (map pin icon) to You (bookmark icon)

2. Scroll down to the very very bottom, until a row of icons (Timeline, Following, Maps) appear

3. Click the rightmost icon, Maps, and you will find a list of maps you have opened before

4. Find the Torii map and click into it

5. Click "View map legend" at bottom of screen

6. Click "Close" in upper right

Force closing Google Maps on iOS also does it for me.

Which means you cannot trust the My Maps feature if you are traveling anywhere with poor cell service. That’s how I know.
