When trying to setup integration with Airtable I cannot find any field type suitable for Geocomplete form data to be passed.

I checked your form and I can verify that your GeoComplete widget is working properly. However, it is possible that this widget is not supported in the integration. Most of the time, our integrations only support regular form fields.
Here's an example of a field in Airtable:
I recommend you to use the Address Field instead since it is supported by the integration. Here's an example:
We can forward a feature request to our developers regarding this if you want, however, we cannot provide any ETA on when will it be available. Let us know if you still want us to do that.
Hope that helps.

consistency across all platforms. Another is end user usability.
Your address field would be OK for single use submissions but the nature of
integration with Airtable requires more functionality to make the data
usable for the intended function.
Can you please suggest another widget that would be able to generate
consistent Google Maps data that can be passed to Airtable?
Thank you

As a workaround, you can try passing the GeoComplete widget value to a regular short text entry field and then map that regular field to Airtable.
Here's a guide:
1. Insert a Short Text Entry field and hide it.
2. Create a condition wherein if the GeoComplete widget is filled, the value will be copied to the hidden regular field. The condition that you should use is the Update/Calculate Field. Here's an example:
Here's a guide if you need one: How-to-Insert-Text-or-Calculation-into-a-Field-Using-Conditional-Logic.
3. After that, map that hidden regular field to the Address field of your Airtable integration.
Here's how it should look like:
