Description

The events.json file contains all the information needed for the map popup. It needs to be enriched by the geocoordinates using the address data.

Instead of having to manually create the locations array (locations.js) file, we could retrieve the lat/long coordinates from a geocode api like geoapify.

Research direction

Start by inspecting events.json and the manually maintained locations.js file to understand the existing map-popup data and address fields. Read the Geoapify geocoding API documentation linked in the issue, then define the generation workflow and verify that it produces location coordinates from the event addresses without manual array creation.
