Answer 1

For Angular 9.****

I tried installing @types/googlemaps, It did not work for me.

I downgrade it to "@types/googlemaps": "3.39.12" then worked perfectly fine.

this is my code

In tsconfig.app.json (add googlemaps to types array)

"types": [
      "googlemaps"
    ]

In app module.ts

import { AgmCoreModule } from '@agm/core';
.
.
.
.
 imports: [
    BrowserModule,
    AppRoutingModule,
    AgmCoreModule.forRoot({
      apiKey: '...KEY...',
      libraries: ['places']
    })
  ],

To downgrade @types/googlemaps, go to pakage.json file in the project root folder and change @types/googlemaps version to "3.39.12". it's better if you delete files form

node_module -> @types -> googlemaps

Then in the terminal enter

npm install
