If you're ok to use a map to point a location (instead of providing an address manually) then you can look at the Location Picker.

For example: https://www.google.com/maps/place/1600+Pennsylvania+Avenue+Washington+DC
1600+Pennsylvania+Avenue+Washington+DC (From input fields)

Embedded maps might not work for everyone, but it's perfect for my application in marking locations of events. Mapping the location of members is a bit intrusive in my opinion, so I won't be doing that. Organizations would be another use of a location map. Either one of these needs would be served just fine by an embedded map.
Embed will not work in this situation, since we need to geocode address to save latitude and longitude coordinates, OSM map should work fine if address is geocoded properly. So I think we need to make some correction in the code to properly geolocate addresses - I think if address can't be found then we need to geocode by City or Zip at least, so make it possible to submit the address and have some approximate geolocation - https://github.com/unaio/una/issues/3401

Hello Alex T⚜️ Thanks a lot. Yes Please please geocode it by City or Zip or whatever else. A workaround or plan 'B' is urgently needed. This location issue was already driving me nut. It's very frustrating and a business killer. We all know that OSM is poor but having many addresses not being found is not good for UNA sites at all. I always suspected that there could be something to do in the programming. Thanks for coming up with your idea.
