As an idea.
We could also use browser geocoordinates to get that.

Meetup location can be shown without having to use of Geolocation API. Most of the people would probably want to avoid giving website permission to access detailed location information (and that would also mean that helsinkijs.org website would need to include a mention about such feature usage in the Privacy Policy; thought Privacy Policy document is currently missing, and should be created in the future).

This is effectively dependent on us getting some kind of API for the data on meetabit.com -- we already include at least a Google Maps link on the event page, and that (a bit tautologically) should contain enough info to build a map.

We do need an external service of some sort to handle the meetabit.com screen-scraping, as the site does not provide an API, or include liberal CORS headers in its responses. @olegp wrote this a while back, it might be expandable to fetch sufficient data: https://unitcluster.com/olegp/meetabit

Edit: Here's what that API currently provides: https://meetabit.unit.run/events?helsinkijs
