Local Guides Movers & Shakers (April, 2025)

Merci @AdamGT pour avoir réalisé la totalité des classements en 8 jours !
Un record ! Merci pour votre travail !

Ma photo d’Auxerre a été sélectionnée par Google pour figurer en bonne place dans d’autres recherches, au niveau du département notamment, ce qui explique son résultat. Je suis content de constater que cette photo est aussi emblématique au niveau de la région !

Thanks for the boards again @AdamGT :flexed_biceps:t2:

Kinda feel something is off, but I’m not a smart man so someone else might need to chip in on this.

I’m on mobile at the moment so I might miss something. I was trying to rationalise why I could be

Phots #62
Videos #20
But total media views somehow #102

It’s difficult for me to match things up right now but could see #1 on media views, the delta figure is really their total number of views. So that might be an indication of some issue

Hope everyone has a nice day

Well done @Shalz. Keep guiding, keep contributing and keep achieving!

Thanks @AdamGT for talking up the Leaderboards so well, your summary comments are normally priceless. For all those generalists out there like me there’s no limits here. I finally made it to the top of a leaderboard which is a really rare thing ! I love contributing across the board so I normally can’t compete with the very best but here goes there´s always ways and means!

No need to stop or slow down at the end of the year @SarathUpendran. Just keep going and don’t worry, we’ll all catch up :wink:

Thanks for your appreciation @claude_richard. I always try and in fact I like to get the Leaderboards posted as early in the month as possible. This gives everyone more time to study them and assess how they are progressing, especially in relation to their peers.

Logically thinking, Google selects the best media to represent countries, cities, towns and villages, and departments. So well done you on snapping a great photo now a feature of Auxerre. Millions have seen it and no doubt millions will continue to see it!

Thanks for the question @anon24291235 and I won’t answer you right away as I’d like to see others accept the challenge to give you the right answer. @Peadar might call this another one of those quirks in the Leaderboards but there is a very simple explanation! I’m really hoping that someone will come up with the right answer and I will be right here to congratulate them. So now, let’s see who accepts the challenge!

I’m pleased to hear that you continue to find that the Leaderboards are inspiring, informative and valuable @TravellerG. They bring Local Guides from over 100 different countries together in a fun and friendly competitive way while providing a base from which we can learn a lot about our contributions and how we can improve on the impact that they have.

Thank you @MarkAuchincloss for your comment. I don’t always get the chance to open up the discussion once the Leaderboards are posted but I do like and enjoy it. With so many different leaderboards, full of numbers on so many different metrics, they can be somewhat dry and boring so a paragraph or two highlighting some of the highlights and amazing achievements on them can help break things down a little and make the Leaderboards a little more enjoyable. This also usually leads on to interesting and enjoyable discussion with so many different Local Guides, and it’s this engaging that I know we all love.

I couldn’t agree with you more Mark. There are no limits and each and every one of us can reach the top of class. Once again, given that video is the new media frontier on Maps, well done you on cracking a top class video that gained the most views in April :wink:

Great job @MarkAuchincloss Congrats on being #1 on that board, I am well behind you.

Love the leaderboards as always @AdamGT Thank you from all of us.

Please do not shut down the video board. Videos are just getting started worldwide. Trust me on this. As far as searching for videos I found it’s easier to use a Tablet which shows 12 Vid/Phts per page. It’s much easier to scroll down to the end of your contributions.

Just as I suspected, my videos moved by more in April than they did in March. And March was almost double February. Something new is happening with video views that I wasn’t experiencing a few months ago, before November 2024.

Wow!! This is dismal. Just 6 Star Photo and 11 Star Video Movers & Shakers. I’m missing from both for April, as there was absolutely no movement on either one. However, my Star Video finally increased a few days into the new month. From 194,726 views to 196,677 views, which is EXACTLY 1% up.
