Re: New Event Map provider
There is now an error message if an address cannot be parsed.

I notice that you used "55 Queen St, Stratford, ON N5A 4M9, Canada" for example on one event.

It appears that while that address cannot be successfully mapped (and there is now a message to that effect, thank you) that "55 Queen St, Stratford, ON, Canada" does work.
I am curious if that is an acceptable map for your event?

You can test an address to see if it works here:
https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/

We are not limited to using the site above for converting from a street address to a map latitude/longitude, so we will monitor this issue to see if there are better alternative providers. Maybe we can even try a few sites at the same time.
