What happens after you complete Level 10 in the Local Guides program?
Not sure that “How To’s” is the right board for this but it seemed to be the most applicable.

Posting such questions in the How-to section is perfect.
Nothing happens when you reach level 10. You will get fewer cheering emails from Google Maps. You don’t get any special powers. But your experience will likely help you not wasting time making edits that are unlikely to get approved.
The points and views are still counted.

@MortenCopenhagen , can you shed some wisdom on some of the places that we’d be wasting our time trying to make edits?
Part of the reason for becoming a guide was to correct all the errors I’ve seen over the years at Airports. I have found it CHALLENGING to make these stick. many times because there’s a branch store in a different terminal, and whoever is doing the fact checking, often can’t check both locations.
Is there a post with some hints or advice?

Hi @shunsader
You may find the following posts from my Easing frustrations series interesting and helpful:
- How to get Edits and New Places Approved
- Stuff we can not edit on Google Maps
- Understanding Regional Editing Restrictions
In addition I will mention banks, ATMs, pharmacies, hospitals, and locksmiths as categories that are so protected that it is not worth the time trying to edit them.
Cheers
Morten
