[f500link]Google[/f500link] is hoping to make finding places a bit easier with a new update to Google Maps.

The mapping and directions app is getting a refreshed look that highlights points of interest more clearly. Areas that include several points of interest will now be shaded orange on the map, for instance. Google determines these clusters by using an algorithmic process for finding regions with the highest density of bars, restaurants, and shops.
