The Points, Photo Views and Video Views leaderboards regularly posted on Connect, each look at specific but different media aspects of our Maps contributions. Based on various metrics, including the number of points and the number of views, the participants on these leaderboards are listed without giving any consideration to their respective country location.
However, it goes without saying that Local Guides in smaller countries or ones where there are significantly less guiding opportunities, such as Barbados, Cameroon and Rwanda, would have less chance of gaining enough points or photo views than those in larger countries such as the United States, Canada or UK and therefore, these Local Guides have less chance of getting onto leaderboards based strictly on points or photo views!
Local Heroes > Local Stories
The leaderboards in this post, are different because they specifically take into account the country location of the participating Local Guides and in this way, they give Local Guides from even the smallest countries recognition and an opportunity to be featured as local heroes in their country, and you will see many are.
There are many great local stories on the Country leaderboards and so if you’re a local hero and you’re not listed on the leaderboards or your country isn’t listed, then you and your country should be and you can make this happen.
