So, it looks like they are stoppingpoints for check ins unless it is from a mobile device.
You might be on to something there. Foursquare's mobile apps report the user's GPS coordinates as part of the checkin. Web-based checkins (like the mobile website and Auto4sq) don't have that info. Topguest may have decided they need coordinates to "prove" a checkin is legit.
