Answer 1

InvalidValueError: not an instance of `HTMLInputElement`

That's mean you have not set proper id of your html input element. Google API not able to find that control in your html code. Because of wrong id of input element.

If you using textarea then it will not work because google maps autocomplete now supports only window.HTMLInputElement(input tags)
