Strapped to iOS 5, Foursquare Pushes New ‘Radar' Feature

Strapped to iOS 5, Foursquare Pushes New ‘Radar' Feature

SAN DIEGO, Calif. — Location-based startup Foursquare today unveiled a new app feature that allows users to discover nearby places of interest based on their likes and dislikes. Dubbed “Radar,” the feature sends push notifications to your iOS 5-based iPhone when you're in the neighborhood of a place you've been meaning to visit. Radar is based on your existing Foursquare “lists” of favorite places, so instead of suggesting restaurants or stores you've never heard of, the app will notify you that you're close to some place you actually want to visit.
