From the author:

Foursquare is rising in popularity, and will continue to grow. This plugin makes it easy to share your last check-in location without needing to worry about giving away personal info, and you don’t need to be an expert in mapping APIs!

The plugin places a Google map in a widget area and lets users enter their preferences over what they show, be it just the map, or the name of the place too, or the comment they left while there. Simple, effective, and sociable.

Features:

• Offers an easy way to share your last check-in location with your blog’s readers.
• Built on the Foursquare and Google Maps APIs, so expect blistering fast speeds.
• Intuitive interface for editing options, with plenty more power under the hood.
• Independent handling across multiple widget instances, using WordPress 2.8′s widget_class coolness.
