<p>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.</p>
<p>It requires the <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/leaflet-map/" rel="ugc">Leaflet Map</a> plugin and <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/the-events-calendar/" rel="ugc">The Events Calendar</a>.</p>

<h3>External Services</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<p><strong>What data is sent:</strong> The venue address entered in The Events Calendar is included in the request URL sent to OpenStreetMap’s servers.</p>
<p><strong>When it is sent:</strong> Every time a visitor loads a single event page that has a venue with an address.</p>
<p><strong>Service provider:</strong> OpenStreetMap Foundation</p>
