Isn't "Change location" in mobile site available with API?
H.Hiro(Maraigue)
we can use "Change location" for setting current location.
Isn't it available with API?

every method potentially can have location information -- so there's
no need to have a separate "change default location" call
the mobile web version has this because we have to manually get
location data from the user (as opposed to being able to get it
silently via GPS or the browser)

I will think of other ways.
I have thought of using this function for apps with weak GPS system.
In fact, since my phone cannot find its location with cell tower
trianglation (only GPS is available), it takes much time to find its
location. Because of it, using WinMoSquare is inconvenient.

keep track of the user's manually entered location in the session
then, every time you make a request to our side (for instance, to see
a list of venues nearby), you pass this manual location data over in
place of the auto-location
this is essentially what our mobile web version is doing

The problem is that if a user moves very far without checking-in
anywhere (e.g. a flight of hundreds of miles), then the user cannot
make a new check-in at new location in case of GPS is unavailable and
not using web interface.
In the case the user needs to input his/her new location manually via
web interface by opening a browser, but I wonder it can be done via
API.

It's true that I can convert addresses to lat/lon via external
service,
but if I use external service, the change of location is not reflected
into the information shown in http://foursquare.com/ .
So what I want to do most is to change the location as a function of
foursquare.
I strongly hope foursquare serves the function as API.

when you get the lat/lon from the external service, just pass it along
to our api. for instance, in the /venues call, you should always pass
the latest lat/lon

What you say does not solve any of my proposition,
but I'll give up only updating location shown in http://foursquare.com/
via API
(without checking-in).
naveen
if you call /v1/venues as an authenticated user and pass in an
appropriate geolat/geolong, then foursquare.com will reflect your new
location automatically
for instance, try this as an authenticated user:
http://api.foursquare.com/v1/venues?geolat=37.773429&geolong=-122.401772
it'll relocate you in san francisco (the location shown on
foursquare.com will be updated simultaneously)
