The Perfect Map

Whether you’re near home or traveling in a new city, odds are you turn to your phone pretty frequently to figure out where you’re going. Sometimes you know exactly which restaurant you want to go to, and other times you just want something quick and close by. And sometimes, all you know is that you’re hankering for some nachos.

Luckily, no matter what you want, foursquare can help you find what you’re looking for. If you already know where you want to go, just start typing in the name of the place you’re going – with tens of millions of places around the world in our database, we can certainly find it for you.

And, when you’re feeling less decisive, we can still deliver. Whether you type “Mexican,” “guacamole,” or “La Esquina,” into foursquare, we’ll find the best places for you by tapping into over 2.5 billion past check-ins from you, your friends, and over 25,000,000 people who use foursquare around the world.

We don’t give one-size-fits-all results; we make the smartest, most personalized recommendations possible. That means we do things like show you a local coffee shop that 3 of your friends have been to before we show you a national chain, give you an array of excellent hot dog choices when you first arrive in Chicago, and help you figure out where to get dessert after you’ve checked in at dinner.

We also have tons of information about those places, like hours, menus, photos, and tips from local experts and city publications, so you can make the best choice.

Give it a try: open up foursquare and tap on the Explore tab. You’ll see where friends are nearby, places they’ve been, and places we think you’ll want to go. Search for anything, like “dinner,” “Friday,” “pizza,” or the name of your favorite spot.

With foursquare, you don’t get any map – you get one that’s made just for you.
