Track your Foursquare checkins using Google Calendar


Sometimes it’s nice to be able to take a look back at your Foursquare history to see where you’ve been or when you made that trip to a specific store. If you’re a Google Calendar user, it’s easy to add your Foursquare history directly to your calendar so you can check it at a glance.

To add your Foursquare history:

  1. Visit your Foursquare feeds page, right click on the ICS link and copy the link location (do not download the file)
  2. In your Google calendar, find the “Other Calendars” box on the lower left and click “Add”
  3. Choose “Add by URL”
  4. In the pop-up that appears, paste the URL you copied from the Feeds page and click “Add Calendar”
  5. Wait a few minutes for Google to import the calendar
  6. When it first imports, the name of the calendar will be the long URL you pasted in; to change it, click the dropdown arrow next to its name in the “Other Calendars” box, choose “Calendar Settings”, change the calendar name to something more friendly (like “Foursquare History”) and click save
  7. You can change the color of the text by choosing a different color from the dropdown next to the calendar name in the “Other Calendars” box
