The library currently doesn't wrap the Places API, but it is still accessible through native API.
Here's how:

Places API are definitely part of the library's roadmap and will include some very cool features. Until these are implemented, the following is the way to go...

1. Make sure you include the Places library when loading Google Maps. If you're manually specifying the url in your GoogleMapsModule.forRoot(), add the places library as mentioned in the native docs.
   If you're using the config object, specify it using the libraries key:

...
import { GoogleMapsLibrary, GoogleMapsModule } from '@bespunky/angular-google-maps/async';

@NgModule({
    ...
    imports: [
        ...
        GoogleMapsModule.forRoot({ apiUrl: { key: 'YOUR_MAPS_API_KEY', libraries: [GoogleMapsLibrary.Places] } })
    ]
})
export class AppModule { }

2. Use places API as you would without the library, by accessing the google.maps.places namespace, as mentioned in the native docs.

@RobertVogt Thank you for adding this issue. Converting this to a feature request...

Thank you and thanks for this library and your responsiveness...this library is SOOO much better than AGM or the "official" Google maps library.
