#Foursquare Locator
This app uses Foursquare to locate your users and then plot their locations on Google Maps.We are using foursquare to retrieve user's last checkin. Then we can retrieve the longitude and latitude. This app then plots these coordinates on google maps. In this app, I have customized the map by changing the marker image as well as many design aspects. When you click on the marker it shows the users, location, last check in and their twitter handle (as a name link). View Example Here
