Standard

This is short post written for FUN!

I just figured a way to visualize FourSquare checkins on Google Maps (Courtesy: LifeHacker Post).

This is my check-ins represented on Google Maps when I visited Boston recently:

Here’s how you do it:

1) Go to https://foursquare.com/feeds/ and login if you haven’t

2) Copy the URL of the KML file which looks like: https://feeds.foursquare.com/history/randomcharacters.kml

3) Go to Google Maps and paste the URL of KML file in search box and hit ENTER!

You’re done!

Happy Tracking! Happy Data Visualization!
