[jpoehnelt]

Use the official dynamic loading package for Google Maps JS. See https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/overview#js_api_loader_package.

Hi, @jpoehnelt! Thanks for using our products and for this PR. Please can you tell us which improvements will give us this change?

Regards, Dragos

This is the official package used for dynamically loading the Google Maps JS API. While it is still open source and community supported, it is officially maintained by my team(Google Maps Platform Developer Relations).

The benefits over the other package are:

• Up to date options including some beta features
• Larger user base including companies such as Lyft
• Maintained by Google Developer Relations
• Better error handling with singleton pattern
