Summary0001206: [Feature Request] Use Foursquare to obtain Sublocation names
DescriptionAlthough Geonames.org has a lot of locations, it would be interesting if the nearby sublocation names could be retrieved from Foursquare as well. User would log in to Foursquare via GeoSetter.

Also, retrieving and displaying places where the user has checked in, would aid in the process of geotagging photos.

Interesting. I just discovered one can do something similar! Foursquare exposes location data as kml in https://foursquare.com/feeds/

It would be nice then, if the feed can be added directly to Geosetter. Without having to download it to the PC first.

The KML export feed contains the geo coordinates, placename, date of checkin as well as the URL of the foursquare location. This may come in use for synchronization.

I wrote a blog post on how to use Foursquare Check-ins with GeoSetter - more of a hack.
