Answer 1

I was facing same problem and what I did was, I just removed these

import { } from 'googlemaps';
declare var google: any;

from my component.ts and add "types": [ "googlemaps" ] in my tsconfig.app.json . . Now my tsconfig.app.json looks like this.

{
    "extends": "../tsconfig.json",
    "compilerOptions": {
        "outDir": "../out-tsc/app",
        "module": "es2015",
        "types": [
            "googlemaps"
          ]
    },
    "exclude": [
        "test.ts",
        "**/*.spec.ts"
    ]
}

And its working perfectly.
