Angular-google-maps: Does AGM have PlacesService? I cant seem to get it to work.

Issue description
Trying to use places service to run a "nearbySearch()"

Steps to reproduce and a minimal demo of the problem

public findHospital() {
let map = new google.maps.Map(document.createElement('div'));
var placesService = new google.maps.places.PlacesService(map);
var place: any = Observable.bindCallback(placesService.nearbySearch);

var pyrmont = new google.maps.LatLng(19.107567, 72.8335)
var request = {
  location: pyrmont,
  radius: 200,
  types: ['hospital', 'health'] // this is where you set the map to get the hospitals and health related places
};

return place(request)
  .map((response) => {
    let result: IDistanceResult;
    console.log(response);
    return result = {
      directions: response[0],
      status: response[1]
    }
  });

}

_What steps should we try in your demo to see the problem?_

Current behavior
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'nearbySearch' of undefined

Expected/desired behavior
return a list of nearby places

angular2 & angular-google-maps version
latest

Other information

I only ask because the DirectionsService seems to work fine, so i assumed so would the places service
