Is there a way of viewing my Google+ check-ins as pointers on a Google Maps?
UPDATE: Now that Google Latitude has been retired, my answer is no longer relevant. How can I view my Google+ check-ins without Latitude?

There is no events function in the Maps API. It's likely the site you saw was using another data source with the Maps API. What's the fun of a mashup if everything is in the same API? :)
Mouse over the controls on the upper right of the map - it says satellite and possibly traffic. Other controls will roll out once you mouse over this area.
You'll see a control that allows you to remove the search result from the map by 'unchecking' next to the business name or search term.

You can still see your Google Location History at https://maps.google.com/locationhistory/ assuming you have location tracking enabled. (Does it show check-in locations? I don't use that feature. For those who miss Latitude, there's now Google+ location sharing.)
Also in the new Google Maps, "My custom maps" is in the menu below the search box (it was restored recently), and you can click the gear icon to get to the "My Places" menu command.
However the word is that there's no longer a way to view check-ins on a map.
[If you can export your check-ins as (latitude, longitude) coordinates, you can import them into Google Fusion Tables. Fusion Tables can readily plot locations on a map.]
