how to use google maps with typescript definitions?

Question

if you load the google maps api in the browser using a <script> tag (and not the @google/maps node package), how can you assign typescript types to it? e.g. if I use the @types/googlemaps package or similar, their types look right, but i don't know how to hook them up to my own google variable. seeing some disappointing tsc messages like

Cannot use namespace 'google' as a type.
