You mean FourSquare? Yes.

And it's a quite simple API, I don't know how the v1 looked, but I don't quite get what is holding BarrioSquare up in upgrading it?

Hah, that is a thought I had myself. In some future this may happen (but don't hold your breath).

The big issue is really how you would associate a GPS position with a WiFi network... since the nokia location layer doesn't use WiFi at all (as far as I know, anyway), it would mean that you yourself basically have to define "my wifi is over here". Which could be done. Maybe just allow you to associate a WiFi network with a ZapLoc? Could be done.

Good thought. May happen. Not guarantee it. And probably not terribly soon...

EDIT: Does anyone know how to get the current WLAN id from python?
