I'm responsible for a site that has one of the largest implementations of Google Maps (per impressions) outside of Google Maps itself (in Australia). Both with that, and with overlay (including links) of data, we have seen on 1million+ pages that with or without Google Maps has zero effect on the page's ranking.

I'm not going to speculate on the specifics of why this doesn't impact SEO (because I simply don't know definitively), but most of Google Maps requires the execution of JavaScript, and as we know, while Google does indeed crawl and execute some JS, it's mostly for link discovery and detection of spammy redirects.
