Google+ actually has check-ins, both through the native Android app, and through the mobile web app. What's more, the current version of Google Maps on Android also has hooks to allow you to check in on Google+ without leaving the Maps app. You can even set Maps up to automatically check in, or remind you to check in, the next time you're near that location.
Now why anyone would want this is still beyond me. I've never been one to actually use Foursquare or Gowalla...
- blantonl 15y agoI'm not seeing the Google Maps integration yet on my Android device (Droid X), however I do see the check-in capabilities now on the Google+ Android App. Some locations show up but other's don't. Very very promising though.
- callahad 15y agoI'm seeing it on Google Maps 5.7.0, though it only seems to actually work reliably if you're also signed into Google Latitude. For what it's worth, I see a "Check In" option right next to "Rate and Review" when I go to My Location -> What's Nearby -> [Place].
