const mapIter = myMap[Symbol.iterator]()

console.log(mapIter.next().value) // ["0", "foo"]
console.log(mapIter.next().value) // [1, "bar"]
console.log(mapIter.next().value) // [Object, "baz"]

Using [@@iterator]() with for..of

myMap.set('0', 'foo')
myMap.set(1, 'bar')
myMap.set({}, 'baz')

}
// ["0", "foo"]
// [1, "bar"]
