Garmin doesn't have to do a thing, as according to the above article, the Foursquare founder is open-sourcing the city places database. A copy of the database (broken down by region of course) is stored on every Garmin device that includes Foursquare, so the feature would continue to function even if the database were to completely disappear overnight. However, in a situation like that it would become increasingly out of date and in time would become useless.

I know that the database is stored on the device since it gets updated when the map does. But I admit to merely guessing at whether the app functions or not as I haven't had much cause to use it lately.

I will keep hoping that they add Google Local Search, but I think the likelihood of that happening is slim to none. (And, Slim is headed to the Caribbean for vacation.)

I went to Garmin Support Center this afternoon and got this:

While several features remain in Smartphone Link, products launched after April 2021 had connected Foursquare features disabled. Beginning in July 2021, connected features were removed from the dezl and Garmin Drive apps. This includes:

Foursquare check-ins and check-in prompts
Price information in the Foursquare POI review page
Today’s open hours in the Foursquare POI review page
Live Foursquare POI rating information
Personalized suggestions from Foursquare within Where To? > Foursquare searches
The following products in the field at that time had connected Foursquare features removed:

DriveSmart x5 – SW 9.40, August 2021

Looks like a lot has been removed.
