What's the main difference between this and AGM?

I'm not very familiar with AGM.
Seems like they provide similar features, but with a slightly different API.
AGM also seems to have some extra libs to draw on the map - angular-maps.com/api-docs/.

Looking into the feature, I would guess that the official component will follow the Angular upgrade paths - whereas for AGM it might take some time to follow the Angular upgrades.

Awesome response number 2!! :) Yeah, AGM hasn't been updated in a year I believe

According to the @agm/core npm page, AGM came out of beta 2 months ago. So seems at least kind of active.
