Readme - How to read the Points leaderboards (July, 2026)
Briefly, this is what you need to know about the leaderboards in this post. For more details see the leaderboard documentation and the Leaderboard System’s online context-sensitive help information.
The leaderboards in this post present details about the Local Guide points of hundreds of participating Local Guides from all over the world. As well as an overall leaderboard ranking the top 100 Local Guides by points, you will see leaderboards for different Local Guide levels which provide you with direct comparisons of your points achievements with that of your peers. Additionally, leaderboards are included that showcase the top Local Guides by points in each country.
Where shown, [ ] around leaderboard sequence numbers indicate that this is the first time that this Local Guide has participated on the Top 100 Local Guides leaderboards.
Where shown, ( ) around leaderboard sequence numbers indicate that this Local Guide levelled up/down on this leaderboard.
An asterisk (*) shown after a Connect Username indicates that that Local Guide is a Connect Moderator.
Double asterisks (**) shown after a Connect Username indicate that that Local Guide is a Googler.
The Leaderboards System uses 8 different superscripts to indicate the varying states of a Local Guide’s Maps and Connect profiles. On the Points Leaderboards a superscript of [1] indicates that while the Local Guide is included on the points leaderboards, because their Maps profile was hidden at the time of reading the data for this month’s Leaderboards, they will not be included on this month’s Photo Views and star media leaderboards (see point 14 below)!
Local Guides suspended or who have left the Local Guides program are excluded from the Points Leaderboards.
If you have changed (a) your Connect username, or (b) your Maps profile in some way (e.g. changed your username or profile picture), (c) your Maps profile status from public to hidden or vice versa then you may not appear on one or more of the leaderboards. If so then you must provide the details in a comment on this post.
Hovering over a Local Guide’s username will display the number that integrates that Local Guide’s details on the Leaderboards System and Connect; the umbilical chord if you will between the two disparate systems.
Selecting a Connect username will take you either to that Local Guide’s Connect Profile or to their HUB.
If a number is displayed in a small gray circle following a username, that number indicates the number of times anyone has selected that username to visit the respective Local Guide’s Connect profile or HUB.
A ? or the words “Not set” in a cell indicates that the respective value hasn’t been provided by or cannot be determined for the respective Local Guide.
Usernames shown as @Anonymous2 have either been deleted from or have left the Local Guides program.

@AdamGT Long way to go forvme but that’s the beauty of this board. The target is clear and journey becomes interesting . For someone like me who is not interested in adding roads in Congo or Ghana, the journey is tough. It is the toughness of the target that motivates one to slog. @MarcoDavoli . Congratulations for the top spot and thanks for the ispiration to keep running
Yes compare yourself with your peers but I say, use the Leaderboards to track and monitor your own progress in whatever contribution areas fit in best with your lifestyle and available time and of course, the areas that appeal to your most.
