Place Details

This example uses a place ID to create a new Place, calls Place.fetchFields requesting the displayName and formattedAddress fields, adds a marker to the map, and logs some data to the console.

Read the documentation.

const mapElement = document.querySelector('gmp-map') as google.maps.MapElement;
