Ionic Google Maps - MapType not assignable - google-maps

Question

Weird observation with the Ionic/Cordova Google Maps. I want to bring up the map with hybrid maps.
if(!this.map){
// const myMapType: MapType = 'HYBRID';
const mapOptions: GoogleMapOptions = {
// controls: {
// compass: false,
// myLocation: true,
// myLocationButton: false,
// mapToolbar: false,
// },
// mapType: myMapType
};
this.map = GoogleMaps.create('map_canvas', mapOptions);
this.map.setMapTypeId(GoogleMapsMapTypeId.HYBRID);
}
Fails running with Argument of type 'string' not assignable to parameter of type 'MapType'. When I disable that line, the app starts. However, a second edit to enable setMapTypeId with ionic livereload loads the map in hybrid. I do not get it. Am I not preloading something that's set in the initial load and then prevails in the simulator memory so that the second time the error is not triggered?
Running simulator with
ionic cordova run ios --consolelogs --target "iPhone-8"

Should work.
import { GoogleMaps, GoogleMap, GoogleMapsMapTypeId} from '#ionic-native/google-maps';
#IonicPage()
#Component({
selector: 'page-set-map-type-id',
templateUrl: 'set-map-type-id.html',
})
export class ExamplePage {
map: GoogleMap;
constructor() {}
ionViewDidLoad() {
this.loadMap();
}
loadMap() {
this.map = GoogleMaps.create('map_canvas', {
mapType: GoogleMapsMapTypeId.HYBRID
});
}
}
