Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Right now the map input widget is great but it requires the user to zoom into and pick the location based on topographical knowlege. Itwould be great if there was an inputfield with geocoding to translate that address to a point on the map. That way we could use the map still for finetuning the exact position but it would be much easier and faster to input address location. This is how for example ACF does it in wordpress

Describe the solution you'd like

Add an address field to the map widget that uses geocoding to determine the ppin position in the displayed map.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Alternatively you could say just use a text field for the address and parse it in your application, but that makes it vulnerable to errors. Also less precise.

Additional context

I am building a map wth locations in a city and it is very cumbersome to have the client put in an address and a GeoPoint using the map widget.
