Describe the bug

If you don't have a GmapMap component on your page (or if it's not visible/rendered) and you try to use dynamic importing (googleMapsApiInitializer) then you might see this error:

locations:1 Uncaught (in promise) _.qe {message: 'GoogleMapsCallback is not a function', stack: 'Error\n    at _.qe.captureStackTrace (https://maps/.…es%2Cgeometry&callback=GoogleMapsCallback:235:269', name: 'InvalidValueError'}

To reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Initialize the plugin but pass in dynamicLoad: false, to the config
2. Call googleMapsApiInitializer without a GmapMap instance on your page
3. See error

Expected behavior

I would expect that initializing the plugin should be when it sets window.GoogleMapsCallback instead of it apparently being only when you use the GmapMap component.

Current behavior

If you don't use the GmapMap component then after Google maps loads it will throw an error (the google maps JS code throws the error) because it can't find window.GoogleMapsCallback

locations:1 Uncaught (in promise) _.qe {message: 'GoogleMapsCallback is not a function', stack: 'Error\n    at _.qe.captureStackTrace (https://maps/.…es%2Cgeometry&callback=GoogleMapsCallback:235:269', name: 'InvalidValueError'}

Additional context

It would be useful to add something to the docs about this and/or actually register that callback at time of plugin initialization instead of waiting until you load a GmapMap component.
