I’d believe it. Apparently you can’t use any 3rd party service that might expose merely an IP address thru a network request directly from the client. A map widget would do that.

I think the scepticism comes from the fact that there haven't been many stories about small businesses being hit with GDPR violations as minor as that; not that it's not a technically, feasibly valid story. So while I won't join in the assumption that the story was a lie/exaggeration, I am equally interested in getting the full details because I'd like to know if it's the case that minor violations like that actually are being enforced.

You can as long as you ask for consent. In which case the detail OP ommited would be that they did not in fact ask for consent

  That's exactly what the fine was for - apparently I should have displayed a prompt and asked the user if he allows to see a google maps widget. It's definitely my fault but to my defence I've never seen anything like this on any website in my life.
