[Geo-location] Create an enrichment connector to compute lat / lng of positions (addresses)

What would be the data source for such a connector ? MaxMind ? Have you already thought about it ?

The Azure Maps API has a free tier that could suit a lot of small-volume use-cases:

• https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/maps/search-v2/get-geocoding
• https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/maps/search-v2/get-geocoding-batch
• https://azure.microsoft.com/en-gb/pricing/details/azure-maps/

Looks like you could get 5000 geolocation queries each month for free. Obviously each customer/instance would have to get it's own API key, but should be doable. Would probably need the ability to set a ceiling in the connector of X queries so someone doesn't accidentally spend a lot of money geolocating stuff.

Edit: it looks like the Google Maps API could possibly provide 40K free geocoding queries (200$ free = 40K geocoding requests).
