Many Local Guides share their points achievements in individual posts here on Connect’s Achievements board, a board specifically set up to brag about this and other achievements. However, as many Local Guides have found, there are advantages to participating in and sharing your Maps contribution achievements collectively in the Top 100 Local Guides Points Leaderboards post.
No different to the Achievements board, you get the opportunity to brag about your points achievements and there’s the inherent competitive and fun element to this, but there’s more here than meets the eye! You see, the leaderboards are more than just about rankings of Local Guides! Here are just some of the benefits of participating and to learn more then see this article:
You get a much better and easier comparative analysis of your points achievements with your peers, that is, Local Guides at your own Local Guide level.
You can gain a way to better monitor and chart the progress of your contributions over time.
You have access to a deeper analysis of your points achievements, and
You can quickly gain an as-you-go health check that can highlight issues with your contributions.
And, you don’t have to be a “top gun” Level 10 Local Guide with millions of points to participate! There are leaderboards for each Local Guide level so anyone can join in and yes, you can too and it’s simple to do, just hit this link to register or if you want to know more then see this How-to post by @AZ_2021.
Briefly, this is what you need to know about the leaderboards in this post. For more details see the leaderboard documentation:
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.

The exclusive Million Dollar Points Club (July 2023)
I’m sure you’ll agree with me that anyone with a MIILION points needs to be specially highlighted on these leaderboards and this is what the Million Points Club is all about. The leaderboard shown below lists the participating Local Guides with an incredible MILLION+ points on Google Maps as at Hard to believe but there you are, it is possible and yes you and I can one day get there and as you can see there’s plenty of room in this club for us
It’s been a really slow start with the leaderboards this month but we’re moving again, hooray!!

Also, I will reply to all other questions and issues raised, including yours, after I have posted the July Star Photos leaderboards. Thanks for your patience and understanding.
