The types typically do not have the properties, functions, or classes found in alpha or beta releases. In many of these cases, the object can be cast to the correct type.
The following error is caused by the mapId beta property for MapOptions .
The above error can be corrected with the cast below.
Conflicting @types packages
Some libraries may use a package other than @types/google.maps , which may cause conflicts. Use the skipLibCheck compiler option to avoid issues with inconsistent types.
Specifying typeRoots
Some frameworks such as Angular may require specifying the typeRoots compiler option to include types installed from @types/google.maps and all other "@types" packages.
