Linking to Google+ or Google Maps?

[Timothy]

What would you guys recommend as the best practice for G+ social icon linking now that the platform has been divorced from map and review data?

I am concerned that changing the Google+ (business page) links for websites I manage to Google Map links may have a negative impact, esp when it comes to schema sameAs data.

Any insight here? The map links are more useful than content sharing for this particular industry.

I would still link to your G+ page, but also have the G map associated with that listing embedded on your site.
