Since the inception of Unfolded in 2019 and acquisition by Foursquare in 2021, we’ve seen 1000s of GIS users fall in love with the platform and a new, magical way to build, analyze, visualize, and share geospatial data and insights
However, our customers have complex location problems to be solved. And we want to make it as seamless as possible for them to utilize Foursquare’s full suite of location products – including location data, location developer tools, and location software.
The move from Unfolded to Foursquare Studio is both a symbolic and practical investment in making it easier for our customers to understand our product portfolio and to determine what solutions are best to help achieve their location objectives.
Continuing into 2023, users of Foursquare Studio and the entire Foursquare product portfolio will see more integrations and product investments, making it simple to find a solution for the current problem at hand.
For current users, you will see no change in the product experience, features and functionality. Your username and password will remain the same at studio.foursquare.com and your account and published maps will also continue to operate as usual.
The most notable change will be the unfolded.ai marketing site and docs pages, which have been moved to foursquare.com/products/studio.
For a full list of FAQs, please see below.
