Foursquare Goes iOS 4 Native: Brings A New Map View, But No Background Location

The iOS 4-compatible apps continue to roll-in. The latest is Foursquare which now includes fast app switching and high resolution artwork for the iPhone 4's retina display. And this latest version, 1.9, includes a little bonus: a new map view. One thing not included, however, is background location. The new map view allows you to see avatar representations of your Foursquare friends overlaid on a Google Map. You can also hit the locator button to show off where you are and see which friends are actually closest to you. Clicking on their images brings a pop-up that shows their current location (which you can click on to go to that location's page in the app).
