Answers.Text: Sorry you had a tough time with the Google API!  I'm using it with some clients, so I know it works.  As for the "standard and built in", I would say that as a community we're moving toward the Geocoder extension, since it's a shared project between different PHP projects: https://civicrm.org/blog/eileen/improved-geocoding-in-civicrm

Answers.Text: Will the Extension eventually be in the Main Extension Library? I am using the OSM one (manual download and install) and it works, but each time I upgrade it gets wiped out. I store it in the /Ext folder. Still, it works and I am grateful to folks like yourself and others whom work hard so that the rest of us have a great platform!

Answers.Text: Is that `ext` folder relative to the CiviCRM root?  If so, it'd be good to change it!  I use `<webroot>/wp-content/civicrm-custom/extensions` for WP sites.  You'll need to move the files, then change the path in both **Administer » System Settings » Directories** and **Administer » System Settings » Resource URLs**.  This will keep it from getting blown away on upgrade.

Answers.Text: Geocoder IS in the main extension library, but it's not marked for automated distribution because it hasn't been submitted for peer review.  Not a lot of folks do peer review of extensions on the regular - but it's written by Eileen McNaughton, whose CiviCRM code I trust over my own (by a lot).  It's also in production on many large installations, including Wikimedia Foundation.

Created Google API Key and set up billing (worried as I don't know how much this costs but says I get a $200 credit/mth).
  
  Any help would be appreciated including whether or not I need this Google API to get the geocoding done!

  Google stopped offering a free access to Map API back in June 2018 - for most organizations - the 200 credit is sufficient - [click here for examples.](https://cloud.google.com/maps-platform/pricing/) I believe the cost of the Geocoding API is $5.00 per 1,000 calls.
  
  The disclaimers on the github regarding nominatim.osm.org are likely why you don't see this in core. Many extensions like these are normally found via the [web extension directory.](https://civicrm.org/extensions/openstreetmap-geocoding)

  What ended up working was that I manually installed the OSM Extension which IS NOT in the Extensions Directory (built in) and located here:
  
  <https://github.com/bjendres/de.systopia.osm>
  
  Crazy that a) the OSM Extension is not a STANDARD and BUILT IN Extension; and b) that the Google API does not work.
