Announcement: New basemap styling is coming soon to Google Maps Platform. This update to map styling includes a new default color palette, modernized pins, and improvements to map experiences and usability. All map styles will be automatically updated in March 2025. For more information on availability and how to opt in earlier, see New map style for Google Maps Platform.
Loads a library of the Maps JavaScript API, resolving with the direct members of that API (without namespacing). (When loaded, libraries also add themselves to the global google.maps namespace, though using the global namespace is not generally recommended.)
