    Abstract: Systems, methods, and machine-readable media for prioritizing points of interest for display in a map have been described. In certain aspects a system may include an interface module, a search module, and a priority module. The interface module may be configured to obtain pattern recognition data and location data associated with an image of a geographical area. The search module may be configured to access a set of point of interest listings and determine whether the pattern recognition data and the location data associated with the image correspond with a point of interest listing in the set of point of interest listings. The priority module may be configured to prioritize the point of interest listing for display in a map if a point of interest listing in the set of point of interest listings is determined to correspond.
