MapSwap for The Events Calendar replaces Google Maps with an alternative map provider on the single event pages. No API key required, no usage fees, no restrictions — just fast, reliable, and free maps powered by OpenStreetMap.
It requires the Leaflet Map plugin and The Events Calendar.

External Services
This plugin connects to OpenStreetMap to display an interactive map on single event pages. When a visitor views an event page with a venue address, the plugin generates a link to OpenStreetMap using that address so the map can be rendered.
What data is sent: The venue address entered in The Events Calendar is included in the request URL sent to OpenStreetMap’s servers.
When it is sent: Every time a visitor loads a single event page that has a venue with an address.
