For the side menu, try swiping left near the icon, like it's a "handle" to pull out the menu. Works for me, and it seems to be how they're distinguishing "open the menu" vs. "pan the map left"

Oh... I didn't realize it was a handle. It looks too much like a vertical ellipsis.
I wonder if Apple has patented their "flip up the corner of the page" animation doohickey from their map apps.
For at least one version of the Android style guides, that's supposed to be the standard for indicating "more menu options are available"
Eh, but the Android version isn't a handle, is it?
On iOS it also shows up on a tabbar when you've got too many tabs.
A vertical ellipsis-like icon is what they use on Android to indicate menus nowadays... :/

Now, if there was an easy way to kill/hide driving directions when I don't need it anymore, and return to the plain map, that would be great.
