Description
### Documentation Feedback
Currently the example docs rely on a single use case where the user interacts with the map and a (mapClick) event grabs the map instance and passes it back to a component.ts function. If a developer wishes to decorate a map with a marker or an info window before a user interacts with it, there is no map reference to use.
It appears that standard @ViewChild methods for obtaining a dom reference do not work with the angular google-maps component. We could use a good example of how to get the map reference.

Research direction
Start in src/google-maps/map-marker and review the existing documentation example that obtains the map through a mapClick event. Determine how the map reference can be obtained from component.ts before user interaction and passed to MapMarker or InfoWindow. Done means the affected documentation includes a working example for decorating the map before interaction.
