I can't convert point to latlng.
Here is my code.

  function convertPointToLatLng(x, y) {
    // Function to convert screen coordinates to LatLng
    if (map.getProjection()) {
      const point = new maps.Point(x, y);
      const latLng = map.getProjection().fromContainerPixelToLatLng(point);
      return latLng;
    }
  }

Got an error like map.getProjection(...).fromContainerPixelToLatLng is not a function

    const latLng = map.getProjection().fromContainerPixelToLatLng(point);

    I think this is only available in the draw() function. Take a look at how InfoBox is using one of the functions returned from google.maps.MapCanvasProjection type getProjection() call.

    Here's one way you can achieve this, which is a bit ugly, but works for me.

    const overlay = new google.maps.OverlayView();
overlay.draw = function () {};
overlay.setMap(map);
const point = overlay.getProjection().fromLatLngToContainerPixel(point);

    then point will have the x,y pixel value with respect to the map.
