typings install google.maps --save

the following also gives the same error

typings install google.maps --ambient
typings install google.maps --global

To make your application find your libraries that you installed with typings, you need to make the compiler reach the typings and compiling them. to do that, include typings path ("typings/*.d.ts") in your tsconfig.json

link

I tested the following steps on my ionic 2 project and it is works perfectly:

1- install typings globally :

npm install typings --global

2- install google.maps via typings

typings install dt~google.maps --global --save

3- open tsconfig.json and add "typings/*.d.ts" to your "include" array as shown below (tsconfig.json).

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "allowSyntheticDefaultImports": true,
    "declaration": false,
    "emitDecoratorMetadata": true,
    "experimentalDecorators": true,
    "lib": [
      "dom",
      "es2015"
    ],
    "module": "es2015",
    "moduleResolution": "node",
    "sourceMap": true,
    "target": "es5"
  },
  "include": [
    "src/**/*.ts",
    "typings/*.d.ts"
  ],
  "exclude": [
    "node_modules"
  ],
  "compileOnSave": false,
  "atom": {
    "rewriteTsconfig": false
  }
}

You could also try this:

typings install github:DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped/googlemaps/google.maps.d.ts --global --save

Since none of the above methods worked for me, I installed Google Maps TypeScript definitions directly from GitHub!

This was changed in typings 1.0.0 where --ambient was renamed to --global.

You'll also need to explicitly state the source to install from to over-ride the default (which is npm). Looks like you'll need to install the google-maps type definitions from the DefinitelyTyped (dt) source:

[stewart@localhost cenode]$ typings search google-maps
Viewing 2 of 2

NAME                   SOURCE HOMEPAGE                                                                       DESCRIPTION VERSIONS UPDATED                 
google-maps            dt     https://www.npmjs.com/package/google-maps                                                  1        2015-12-03T17:40:25.000Z
google.maps.infobubble dt     http://google-maps-utility-library-v3.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/infobubble/src/             1        2016-03-17T12:06:54.000Z

So:

typings install dt~google-maps --global
