Here's my scenario: I have a custom content type for an event page. It has a taxonomy field for the venue. The taxonomy vocabulary provides fields for an address, as well as for geocoding and mapping. Using EVA, I attached a view the event page to show the address and map from the taxonomy term.
Now the question: In the event content type, the venue field uses a taxonomy autocomplete (tagging) widget. What is the best way to collect the address from the user when a new venue is entered?

After some more in-depth
After some more in-depth searching, I found a better solution. I created a content type for venue, instead of using taxonomy, and used Entity Reference and Inline Entity Form. For anyone that is interested: Set the widge to the inline form option for multiple values (even if you only need one), and save. You can then enable the option to add existing nodes in the field's settings.
Term Reference
It's been awhile, but I remember doing something similar a few years ago. I would recommend using term reference as the field within your content type.
This allows you to declare a particular taxonomy vocabulary where all user input with reside,
Make sense?
