Hook venue searches into Google Maps or something a la Brightkite.
I wind up using Brightkite more than foursquare simply because I know BK will find the venue when I search for it, since it's hooked into Google. Having only venues come up that were added by foursquare members is limiting. Plus, why can't you add a venue from your iPhone?

Inappropriate?I agree. Trying to add a new venue is kind of a pain in the neck right now. Address? Well, I could look it up, but then I have to exit the Foursquare app and lose my place.
Some sort of built-in geolocation search (Brightkite *is* a good example) would be most helpful.
And speaking of Brightkite, integrating with their API and cross-posting locations between the two would be pretty cool, too.
I’m hopeful

Inappropriate?Another cool site to integrate with might be the Nokia owned plazes.com

Inappropriate?Agreed! Maybe there will be a way to hook into google maps so that when you click on a location, one of the menu options will be to add to foursquare (using the android app)
