Caption: The T100 System, Leaderboard’s nerve center! Planning the July Movers & Shakers Leaderboards. The photo you see on the laptop screen is of a meet-up of Indonesian Local Guides from left to right @ISAIKBALULSURUR, @JeffryRisandy, @abishofyan, @Andhyka and @Rendyanto
This post is about the top Local Guides amongst us actively contributing and achieving both the most points and views from reviews, photos, star (most viewed) photo and star video contributions on Maps. It includes a set of leaderboards that give some indication as to who are the “movers and shakers” out there pounding the pavements, guiding and impacting on their community the most.

Readme - Reading the Movers & Shakers leaderboards (July, 2026)
Briefly, this is what you need to know about the leaderboards in this post. For more details about the Top 100 leaderboards see the leaderboard documentation and the Leaderboard System’s online context-sensitive help information.
To explain the primary metrics used, consider Sarah (Level 8 Local Guide) who updates her data every 30 days:
Data
28 April
28 May
Delta
Points
20,000
24,000
4,000
Photos
860
900
40
Photos Views
15m
16.8m
1.8m
Star Photo Views
4.03m
4.06m
0.03m
Delta Points / Views: The absolute increase gained over the past month (e.g., Sarah’s Delta Points = 4,000 [ 24,000 - 20,000 ]).
% Delta Points / Views: The gain expressed as a percentage of the previous month’s baseline (e.g., Sarah’s % Delta Points = 20% [ (4,000/20,000)*100 ]).
Delta Star Views: Views gained over the past month by a Local Guide’s top-performing photo or video (Star).
Eligibility & Anti-Distortion Rules: To ensure a level playing field and prevent low-scale numerical distortions from dominating % Growth rankings, the following dynamic conditions now apply:
Profile Status: Local Guides suspended or who have left the Local Guides program are excluded from the Leaderboards and those who have hidden their Maps profiles are excluded from view-based boards.
Consecutive Data: You must have updated contribution data recorded in both of the last two consecutive monthly periods. New participants without prior month history are excluded until their second month.
Positive Growth: Entries must show a positive net gain (Delta > 0).
Minimum Baseline Floors: To qualify for inclusion, your previous month’s baseline metric must meet or exceed the following minimum floors:
Points: 250 points Review, Media, & Photo Views: 10,000 views Video Views: 1,000 views Star Photos & Star Videos: 100 views Roads Added: 10 roads
Data Correction Exclusion: Updates reflecting a recovery/rebound after a prior drop or system correction (where current total <= value from 2 months ago) are excluded for that cycle.
Video Impact Verification: Local Guides who do not update their Video Impact data will be excluded from Photo and Video Views boards. On Media Views boards, such profiles are flagged with a [1] superscript following their Connect username.
Username Annotations & Navigation:
[ ] indicates a first-time participant on the Top 100 Leaderboards.
( ) indicates a Local Guide who levelled up/down onto this leaderboard.
* indicates a Connect Moderator
** indicates a Googler.
Hovering over a username displays their Connect/T100 System Integration ID. Clicking a username opens their Connect Profile or HUB.
A small gray circled number after a username indicates how many times their profile/HUB link has been visited.
Profile Changes & Verification: If you have changed your Connect username, Maps profile picture, or Maps privacy settings, please leave a comment on this post so your data can be re-linked accurately.

***Note:** For comparing quality across different upload frequencies, metrics like points per day or views per day (found in the Core Vitals section of the [T100 System](https://top100localguides.com/login.php) offer a more balanced benchmark.*
Finally, the July Movers & Shakers leaderboards—the last in this month’s set—are here! Why the delay?
Firstly, you’ll see that the Movers & Shakers boards have been split into two distinct columns:
Movers: Ranked by percentage growth (% Growth)
Shakers: Ranked by absolute gains (Delta Value)
Secondly, after considerable deliberation, we have refactored the calculation engine. While previous baseline checks relied strictly on continuous metric updates, this update introduces dynamic baseline floors to prevent low-scale data noise (e.g., small accounts jumping from 20 to 100 views) from unfairly distorting the % Growth rankings.
Please read the Readme & FAQs section for full details on how these baseline thresholds work.
OK so that said:
Are you a mover or a share? Or are you a Mover and a Shaker?
In the usual style of all Leaderboard streams, board #903 is a summary/index of all other leaderboards in this post. Select any Board in the left column and you will land on the respective full leaderboard in the post and you will see the top Local Guides there. For example, select 908 Video Views summary row on Board #903 and you will land on the full 908 Video Views leaderboard.
Wow it’s the most exciting leaderboard I look forward to @AdamGT Though the larger table makes viewing a bit challenging even in landscape mode of my android device. Absolutely thrilled to see my name in 4 of the movers leaderboard. It inspires me to keep contributing quality content on Maps. Kudos to you for the efforts put in to create it.
So sieht es im Querformat aus @AdamGT und von der Übersichtlichkeit macht es keine Freude.
Übrigens, von den neuen Formaten, mit aufklappen ab Tabelle 11, erhält man keine Mitteilung mehr als Email.
