Google Maps absolute positioning overlapping fixed position Navbar - html

Question

Working on an Angular application for a small business and for the life of me cannot solve while Google Maps keeps overlapping the fixed position navbar on the mobile site. When I scroll down, the map overlaps the navbar which is not what I want. I want it to disappear behind it. I've tried setting the z-index on both elements, but nothing works.
Here is the html for the location.component.html
<div class="md-6-col" >
<div #gmap style="width: 100%;height: 450px;"></div>
</div>
Here is the html for the navbar.component.html
<nav class='navbar'>
<div class='navbar__logo'></div>
<ul class='navbar__list'>
<li class='navbar__item'>
<a class='navbar__link' routerLink='/home' routerLinkActive='navbar__link--active'>
<i class='navbar__icon navbar__icon--home'></i>
<p class='navbar__linktext'>Home</p>
</a>
</li>
<li class='navbar__item'>
<a class='navbar__link' routerLink='/location' routerLinkActive='navbar__link--active'>
<i class="navbar__icon navbar__icon--location"></i>
<p class='navbar__linktext'>Location</p>
</a>
</li>
<li class='navbar__item'>
<a class='navbar__link' routerLink='/contact' routerLinkActive='navbar__link--active'>
<i class="navbar__icon navbar__icon--location"></i>
<p class='navbar__linktext'>Contact</p>
</a>
</li>
</ul>
</nav>
Here is the css for navbar.component.css
.navbar {
text-align: center;
position: fixed;
bottom: 0;
width: 100%;
background-color: #4F4F4F;
}
/*
.navbar__logo {
display: inline-block;
background-image: url('/assets/mobile_logo_150x150.png');
height: 150px;
width: 150px;
}
*/
.navbar__list {
height: 100%;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
.navbar__item {
align-items: center;
display: inline-flex;
height: 100%;
vertical-align: middle;
width: 33%;
}
.navbar__link {
color: #ffffff;
height: 100%;
text-decoration-line: none;
width: 100%;
}
.navbar__link--active {
font-weight: 900;
background-color: #363636;
}
.navbar__icon {
background-position: center;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: contain;
display:block;
height: 30px;
width: 100%;
}
.navbar__icon--home {
background-image: url('/assets/home-icon.png');
}
.navbar__icon--location {
background-image: url('/assets/location-icon.png');
}
.navbar__linktext {
margin: 0;
}
#media screen and (min-width: 480px) {
.navbar {
text-align: right;
}
}

Where did you apply position: absolute for map?
Make sure you apply position: absolute property to map and position: relative to parent of map to make the z-index working.
