Answer 1

For users of Angular9+ I would STRONGLY recommend using their official component

Step 1: Installation:

npm install --save-dev @angular/google-maps

Step 2: Registration

@NgModule({
  imports: [
    GoogleMapsModule
  ]
})
export class AppModule { }

Step 3: Implementation

center = new google.maps.LatLng(-30.5595, 22.9375);
options: google.maps.MapOptions = {
  mapTypeId: 'hybrid',
};
