Support for OverlayMapTypes ?

See original GitHub issue

I’m trying to implement an ImageMapType as an overlay. This works fine on vanilla Google Maps as per the documentation.

However with this library, there is no overlayMapTypes array in the returned map object:

handleMapLoad(map) {
    this._map = map;
    this._navOverlay = new google.maps.ImageMapType(NAV_OVERLAY_OPTIONS);
    this._map.overlayMapTypes.push(this._navOverlay);
 }
// throws error 'Cannot read property 'push' of undefined'

I did find an overlayMapTypes array inside map.context.__SECRET_MAP_DO_NOT_USE_OR_YOU_WILL_BE_FIRED but when I use that one, the map tiles are offset by a few degrees of latitude and longitude.

So how do I do it?
