Angular2 Google Maps panTo not working (does nothing)

Question

I use Angular Google Maps (latest @agm/core), but I can’t get it panToor setCenterfor work, it just doesn’t do anything.

I import GoogleMapsAPIWrapperas follows:

import { GoogleMapsAPIWrapper } from '@agm/core';

Then I insert it into my constructor:

constructor(
injector: Injector,
private _wrapper: GoogleMapsAPIWrapper
){
super(injector);
}

Then I try to call the above method in a function like this:

resetMap():void
{
  this._wrapper.setCenter({lat:53.097900,
  lng:-1.661963});
  this._wrapper.panTo({lat:53.097900,
  lng:-1.661963});
}

I also tried to reference the map as a ViewChild of type AgmMap, but there is no public property for setCenter or panTo, as shown below:

@ViewChild('agmMap') agmMap:AgmMap;

Is there a way that I can reference directly the google map control instead of the Angular shell?

Please, can someone tell me what I am doing wrong? or how should I refer to a map to invoke methods against it.
