Areas of Interest show up on the map as orange-shaded areas, determined by algorithms meant to highlight spots with high concentrations of restaurants, bars and shops. In the old version of Google Maps, only landmarks like parks were displayed in a different color. Once you've found an area that you'd like to check out, simply zoom in and you'll be able to see exactly what there is to do there.
