Is it bad to include google Maps in footer?

[Restore]

We have 5 locations and we were thinking about including a map for each location in the footer.  These would be set-up as no-follow links.  They could potentially enhance user experience but it also increases size of footer.  Right now there are just basic links to pages (sitemap, terms, etc), contact info, social links, and contact form.  If we did the maps it would also include link to the individual location pages.  Not sure if we are doing too much in footer or need to just keep it basic.

Thanks for the help!

I don't think it is bad. Majority of my client websites uses it in footer only. We haven't seen any issues.

I think its a good thing, it can help people find your business and if you have reviews attached on google+ they can see that within your maps acct.

I don't see any issue with this at all. This sounds like it's beneficial to the user and not spammy, so I don't see it causing any problems.
