Excited to share my conversation with Lukas Martinelli, CEO - Reprompt, on the future of Places data. We explored various topics related to our new Places Engine, including how we are differentiated from other open initiatives like OpenStreetMap and Overture. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6oiH...
We are excited to introduce Kepler.gl 3.1, including enterprise-grade features like an embedded @duckdb.org Engine, an LLM Assistant for visual analysis with support for OpenAI, DeepSeek AI and local Ollama models, and PM Tiles support: location.foursquare.com/resources/bl...
It is coming through social channels like LinkedIn and X but we also have a discord channel for our Placemaker community where we engage in rigorous debates about Place quality.
The latest Foursquare OS Places update delivers measurable data quality improvements, reflecting our active engagement with community feedback and swift implementation of suggested enhancements to better serve our users' needs. (POIs added in green and POIs removed in green)
We will have some updates soon on Swarm.
3) Enriched over 1.7M places with postal code data through contextual address mapping
4) Refined US regional data accuracy for better geographic precision
5) Implemented more accurate tracking of place data freshness through the date_refreshed attribute.
1) Added a new Placemaker URL attribute, enabling direct access to review and suggest edits for any place.
2) Enhanced data quality with improved location accuracy, including fixing POIs incorrectly placed in oceans.
Excited to announce our January 2025 Foursquare OS Places release! This update brings significant quality improvements to our global POI dataset (including fixing POIs incorrectly placed in oceans). Checkout our release notes: docs.foursquare.com/data-product.... Notable updates in the thread
This weekend, I hooked up FSQ Places API with @dharmesh.com's Agent.ai to build a FSQ Place Search Agent. Still need to get the latency under control and add a few more options before I publish but for now, just a demo of an important FSQ can play in the Agentic Universe.
I meant the web app is only desktop compatible now with a mobile version coming soon.
In 2024, we unleashed unprecedented product velocity and innovation at Foursquare by embracing a builder-first culture through the following changes. As a result, shipped more features in the last 6 months than in the previous several years combined.

2024 has been a transformative year at Foursquare as we advanced our mission to making geospatial data and insights accessible to everyone. Our initiatives resonated strongly with the industry. We couldn't be more excited for what's ahead in 2025.
Foursquare's Places API is now powering ChatGPT search with real-time location data across 100M+ points of interest globally. This partnership is our first step towards making location intelligence accessible through conversational AI.

Today, we're taking a transformative step in our mission to build the world's most comprehensive open Places dataset. Introducing Placemaker tools in beta. These new tools give users the ability to add, edit, and validate our Places data. location.foursquare.com/resources/bl...
Our mission at Foursquare is to bridge the divide between physical and digital worlds. In my conversation with Localogy, I explore how we exemplify this vision through our Attribution solution: www.localogy.com/2024/12/loca...
Massive respect to Foursquare for releasing their defunct city guide data as a dataset. This is as big a contribution as Blender releasing their software from license commitments when they wound down. Hope it does some good.

There was some chatter about being able to geo-tag posts on @bsky.app. Foursquare offers APIs which are used for geo-tagging in many popular apps. If @bsky.app/ @pfrazee.com want to enable that feature, here is the link to our GeoTagging APIs: docs.foursquare.com/developer/re...
