Foursquare is changing. Okay, that might be a little dramatic, but it is promising a major redesign.
The first of those changes is set to come in the form of a new maps feature. The company sent out a tweet, previewing the feature.

Maps. There are many others like it, but this one is yours. The #allnew4sq is coming soon! bit.ly/L0fbOy

The tweet came just a day after another one showing off the new splash screen:
Put on your fanciest fancy pants. The all new foursquare is coming soon! Get excited! #allnew4sq bit.ly/KU4PDV

As The Next Web points out, the fact that Foursquare is using the hashtag #allnew4sq, suggests that it could be making full-scale changes across the service.
If Foursquare does want to become the default choice when it comes to finding out about places, it will have to compete against Google’s newly released Google+ Local service.
