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

Bonjour @AdamGT ,
Merci pour ce clin d’œil avec le système T100 sur ma photo d’Auxerre. C’est une image qui n’en finit pas de m’étonner : en ce mois d’août 2026, elle est d’ailleurs en train de réaliser l’un de ses meilleurs scores en termes de vues mensuelles.
Merci pour le suivi de ce classement !:+1:
​Claude

The preview is back and working @AdamGT
For everyone, make sure you use the markdown method see link here

You are probably aware but there are no country flags on boards #412 and #417

Yes!! I noticed my world clock was just saying 4:59am in that time zone @Peadar. But I suspect he still has a life, so he shouldn’t start on Top100 as soon as he gets out of bed. I’ll give him until 10:00am Tuesday, which is 8:00pm Monday for me. Then the answers should start coming through. :grin:

When I posted & you replied the clock moved forward so I’d say we are aligned in time @tony_b hopefully he’s having a nice coffee

Well @Peadar from going back over the history of your updating of your star photo, I see that the star views jumped from 3,691,121 to the currently reported 3,728,299 views in August 2024 but sadly, you haven’t ever updated the important screenshot date since 26 April of that year. So @Peadar is obviously not updating his star photo details, which only he can do :scream: Keep in mind that regularly updating your star photo details helps not only you but everyone else interested in understanding the views gained by the different types of POIs and photos that we add to Maps. In this regard, even if the star views don’t change, recording the date in each month that you check this, is useful. It only takes seconds to do this :wink:

Thank you @ShamsurRahman for your comment and it’s great that you learned a lot from the post. My guess is that being a Level 6 Local Guide, by participating, you would learn a lot more while at the same time contribute to everyone else’s understanding of the views gained from the different types of photos of the many different types of POIs that we all contribute to on Maps. You can start here.

Hi @AdamGT, I don’t believe I should be showing in #417 Star Photo Views/Day by Country. I thought this was only showing the top performer for each country?

Seems like this is just Views per day @nigelfreeney, but not the Country Leaderboard. Hopefully @AdamGT can explain the difference.

@AdamGT sir, thank you so much for your valuable guidance :folded_hands:

I am a Level 6 Local Guide from Dhaka, Bangladesh.

I have learned a lot from your post.

InshaAllah, I will start contributing more by adding new POIs and uploading photos so people can get accurate information.

I will begin with the link you shared.

Your guidance is very helpful.

I will now share more reviews and photos from different places in Dhaka.

No not a new thing @tony_b. I was in a bit of a mess when posting this set of leaderboards because of the small window of opportunity I had at the time and inability to preview before posting. Now that Connect’s preview function has been restored, as soon as I get the chance, I will tidy up things up.

Thanks for your comment @shaileno and as you will know, many of us are in the same boat regarding our photo views.

Yes @MariaNgo you should. Not only does it help you but helps us all understand the photo views metric.

Yes caught this month by the lack of preview functionality. I posted without really seeing this until too late @tony_b. As soon as I get the chance, I will come back to this.

Hello @claude_richard
Yes it’s an image that many of us find amazing. Well done on your bright star.

Do you think that perhaps seasonal factors could be at play here Claude? Is it maybe a summer vacation location?

Yes I saw @AngieYC’s announcement @TerryPG however, while I waited for this, I then had a small window of opportunity to post the star photo leaderboards and decided to have a go. Given the result, and the consequent need to re-post, I should have waited a little longer :frowning:

Yes fully aware of this. Again without Connect’s review feature, I realized this a bit too late. As soon as I can, I will come back and correct this.

Haha you know me way to well @Peadar

Did I make it in time @tony_b :thinking:

Haha I’ve had 3 already @Peadar and after a busy day with other things in my life, this is my first chance after my first reply to get back to the messages. I do have another couple of important posts to make so will tackle these later today.
