My biggest gripe with Foursquare has been the inability to move a location once it has been created (guessing a problem only felt by the WiFi-dependent, and those with vague addresses).
Today I discovered pins for spots that you’ve created can be moved. I’m not a super-user, so I’m pretty sure I didn’t unlock any magical powers that make it possible. The same task I attempted to perform last week and couldn’t, is now possible — a huge WIN.
Now my gripe has shifted to the map view Foursquare gives the user. It doesn’t include an option for satellite/aerial, so moving the pin is a shot in the dark — a huge FAIL.
So I opened another browser window and compared Foursquare’s Google map with a full blown Google map… and that’s when I discovered the Foursquare Mapplet. It overlays Foursquare spots on a Google map (even in Satellite view).
So here’s what you do:
Even though my map refresh looked like a FAIL, it actually worked. And while I thought this would be helpful, I’m secretly hoping Foursquare will add the satellite view to their map and this post gets deleted.
