feat(ANGULAR GOOGLE MAPS): Is it possible to use the new package @googlemaps/markerclusterer?

[francesco-clementi-92]

Feature Description

I'd like to use the package https://www.npmjs.com/package/@googlemaps/markerclusterer instead of the old one https://www.npmjs.com/package/@googlemaps/markerclustererplus.

Use Case

It will be possible to use different algorithms, improve performance and more.

I just asked for that yesterday, they can't change the @types/googlemaps to @types/google.maps for that to work, it's one of the future changes in v13 though. You can use skipLibCheck in your tsconfig file to skip the type check

I believe #23350 should resolve this. Since the type change constitutes a breaking change, this will be in the next major version (v13).

@jelbourn this won't be fixed by #23350 because it only updates the main Google Maps typings, not the clusterer ones which are in a separate package. Reopening.
