      One of my pages has two Google maps on it. This leads to a fairly high keyword density for words like "data", "map data" etc. Since one of the maps is basically at the bottom of the page I thought of loading it "on scroll" as soon as its container becomes visible (before loading the map div should be empty). Will the map then still be craweld by google (can they execute the JS in a way that the map is loaded anyways?) or would this help to reduce the keywords introduced by the maps?

        Those 1-3 words should not be hurting you. Do what's right for usability and how your customers want that page and the 2 maps or whatever else is needed. As for JS, search engines are continously advancing and Google does a decent enough job of reading a lot of JS, not all...most. So without actual examples of what you are looking to do and see how they are coded, it's not possible to say for sure whether it will help accomplish what you are trying to do.

        If I were you, I'd put second thought into it and do what's right and the best for your visitors.
