Top 100 Google Maps Local Guides Star Photos (August, 2026)

Hello @JoseCarlosBH, adding your stars is certainly a different process and I appreciate that it appears difficult at first. However, it is explained in detail on both the star photo album and star video album posts as well as the Leaderboard System’s online documentation. However, if you have any specific questions then the best place to ask these is on the star photo discussion and star photo discussion posts. For your information, together links to all the latest Leaderboard posts, you can always find links to these on the Leaderboard index which you always have convenient access to from either this link or via the Brick-in-the-Wall icon shown on the signature of may Local Guides here on Connect.

Having said all that, a suggestion on how to get started quickly:

  1. Take a screenshot of both our star photo and star video.
  2. Just add the screenshots in comments of the abovementioned album posts
  3. Use the Share a link to this post to get the permalinks to each comment in the album posts.
  4. Add the permalink and details of each star on the Leaderboard System.
  5. When you have time come back, edit and add the remaining details for each of your star listings.

You’re doing really well as a newcomer and your presence on the Leaderboards is well noted. This snippet clearly shows this:

I apologise but I’m not sure what you mean by both these two points.

Yes the Leaderboards and in particular the country leaderboards cover all of our Maps contribution categories. There’s a lot of data collected, managed and then analysed for producing the various leaderboards and designed to be competitive in a friendly way while at the same time being educational and motivating. I’m pleased to hear you say that my posts have been the ones that you’ve been most looking forward to, even if only lately… haha

Keep up the great Local Guide work that you do.
