I’m back on the case for TEC Events not showing Google Maps.
So this is where I get to with this issue.
I went back and setup a new Google Maps API from scratch.
It threw an error connecting with Web Sockets. I researched it and found a discussion and it seems there is an issue with with Jetpack:

One of the comments was that if you logged into WordPress.com the errors didn’t appear. I did that and the errors went away. I then logged out of WordPress.com and the errors did not appear again.
However, it didn’t fix the Google Maps not displaying on the event ??
On a side note, I had a number of other site using another map plugin and they changed to using a Google Maps API Infrastructure. Setting that up on several sites was a major pain. In fact I have only managed to get one site going. I went back to using an iFrame from Google and it looks much better, however not the best app. infrastructure.
A casual observance from both these exercises with different plugins is that the Google Maps API infrastructure is very flakey.
It would good for The Events Calendar people to join in on this conversation for some feedback and input.
