On Feb 27 I was notified that I earned an Expert Status for a true Trailblazer. March 27 I got a notification for a new badge earned “Expert Fact Finder”. Neither of these have been applied to my maps profile. When is the new 7 year connect badge being distributed to profiles? Seems like there is a bug in badges on maps and connect. Can someone provide a list of available badges to be gained on both platforms and give me a resolution to the badges I was awarded but that do not populate on my profile? I’m pushing this to How-tos because it’s not an Achievement until it’s be resolved. Thanks in Advance.

According to your profile in Google Maps you already have all the mentioned badges, plus the expert Photographer, and you arre running for the Master Badge in all the three categories.
The special badges in Maps are visible under your profile on mobile only, by tapping on your avatar
Here below the details of your Expert badges, where in bold the numbers where you already reached the target for the Master badge
Regarding the badges in Connect, the badge for the challenge associated with Connect’s Seventh Birthday will be awarded after July 31st, that is the last day of the challenge, as you can read in Let’s celebrate Connect’s birthday together :“Everyone who participates before July 31 will receive the new Connect challenge badge”.
Please note that Maps badges are not displayed in Connect. Time by time Connect is creating new badges, and there is not a list, but generally speaking we can say that:
Badges in Google Maps are showing your level of contribution on Google Maps. Points, levels, and badging will give you a detailed information
Badges in Local Guides Connect show your level of engagement in the community: we have badges related to Likes received and given, number of post written in the community, number of solutions, plus some badge related to your status, Like Connect Moderator, Street View Trusted Photographer, or Guiding Star, and badge related to the participation of specific events, like Connect Live '18, or the new badges for Challenges
You can see the badge of a Local Guide in the community by checking the profile. Mine is here
