Could you explain your specific use case that caused this issue?

@ziyaddin I have this same error. I'm running an Angular 8 app. I run:

npm i --save-dev @types/googlemaps

Then, in a component file, I include:

import {} from 'googlemaps';

I receive the error:

...'node_modules/@types/googlemaps/index.d.ts' is not a module.

@RobertAKARobin @alambertt try the following steps:

1. npm install @types/googlemaps --save-dev
2. add "types": ["googlemaps"] in tsconfig.app.json file
3. remove import {} from 'googlemaps'; from your code.

This also worked for me on Angular 8. Thank you so much!

@RobertAKARobin @alambertt try the following steps:

1. npm install @types/googlemaps --save-dev
2. add "types": ["googlemaps"] in tsconfig.app.json file
3. remove import {} from 'googlemaps'; from your code.

I wrote this in the first line of my .ts and worked 100%
/// <reference types="@types/googlemaps" />
