There was a thread on it a while back. As far as I can tell, it's still completely useless unless you want to fly Basic Economy.

United fare map - prices from your desired airport
United now has an interactive fare map (beta version) where you can enter an origin, and lowest fares appear for flexible or specific dates. I like it, and if you move the map around, fares appear throughout the world.
Ooops, just saw there is a thread on this topic (didn't see it before): New Map Search Feature on United.com

(New?) Booking search feature shows prices on calendar
Forgive me if this is already a feature known to the masses here, but didn't seen any discussion on this yet. I literally just noticed that when you enter your search string you get a display of prices on the calendar ala google flights? It took several seconds to populate the prices so if you select dates fast and go right to search you'll never see it unless you hold the calendar open with the mouse. I'm seeing this across three computers I just logged into to test- Mac and Windows. Maybe its a beta? Tied to my account? Appears to pull only N fares. Business or First wont show.
I knew about the map search feature that recently came along but have never seen the prices pop up across the calendar. Again, please forgive me if I'm the lone clueless one out there about this..
I'd dare say this could potentially qualify as an "enhancement you'll like" if I can tailor the results via dropdown to exclude N fares, select lowest Y, refundable Y, Premium Plus or Business / First.
