Hmmm… If you placed thousands of pictures, corrected any maps… the only thing you will get a little pin.

but if you share some stupid videos one youtube and so on you can earn a lot of money….

I’m not sure should i be proud ?!

I think happiness is subjective.I’m happy by doing this and it is absolutely fine if you didn’t felt anything like that.

I hope you earn millions from YouTube.

But I’m happy and satisfied for what I’m doing.

Even I got the same reward. Someone please explain what this limited edition ā€˜Google pin’ is all about! I don’t know what it is!

Thanks,

It’s a badge which google offers to those local guide who have contributed a lot to google maps by various ways.

It is limited edition because it can’t be purchased from any shop or from anywhere. It can only be earned.

It is very cheap in terms of price but we can’t give price tag to appreciating rewards like this.

Hopefully I have answered your questions.

Well done.

I received mine a couple of days ago, the same as yours. I have pinned it onto my cardigan. I like the fact it is enamel featuring a plastic ā€˜receiver’ which is easy to remove to transfer.

My husband doesn’t know why I bother as I don’t get paid. I do spend a lot of time writing detailed reviews; editing photographs. More perks from Google, who earn a huge amount of revenue, would be welcome.

Nonetheless I am proud of my pin, as I am of being Level Six.

Thank you Anik. It took me a lot of searching to find the answer to check I was right.

In the email Google initially send you, a specific, detailed explanation as to why you are receiving the pin would be most welcome.

I hope Google do not send me socks however!

Hello, congrats on receiving such appreciation

We local guides feel good when maps recognize our efforts, though it may a simple pin, it’s worth something.

I got the same reward last month

How many days did it take to reach your location after providing the address? They shared me tracking details, and it was shipped on the 27th of the previous month via Deutsche Post (from Germany). Till now I didn’t receive any update regarding the same, do you know any way to contact them? or should I wait?

How many months it took to reach you.

Only about three weeks.

I’d been so excited to receive mine, and it never came. I’d contacted support but no resolution was provided. :sob:

I joined Local Guides Connect today. I got to Level 9 recently, having started as a Local Guide in 2022. I have the Master Reviewer and Master Fact Finder badges, and I am on the cusp of becoming a Master Trailblazer. I am only an Expert Photographer. Most of my points came from detailed reviews, edits and answering questions. I don’t go in for loads of rubbish photos. I usually add photos when something is missing or when I eat or drink something interesting. I don’t do videos. I get a lot of views, and a good number of likes. I had quite a few followers, before that was stopped. I do it because I enjoy it, but I have NEVER had any reward whatsoever, other than the Levels and the virtual electronic badges. I am quite disappointed, as many people who have contributed much less than me have been given pins. Surely, someone who has 2 or 3 Master badges and is at Level 9 should get at least a small physical badge or pin. :pensive_face:
