Facebook is said to be testing a new 'Map view' in Nearby Friends feature which is already present in the app. The 'Near By' feature lets you know approximately where your friends are in your area. This new feature that Facebook is testing will let you see the rough locations of friends in your area.

Since the feature is currently testing the feature, it might be a while before it rolls out to everyone. It surely is more useful than the current list view. Source
