Introduction:
As Local Guides, it's often amazing which of all of our great photos on Google Maps is the photo having the most views, which I call our star photo, and this post is all about such stars. It's an update on the Top 100 Star Photo Leaderboards post of 1 February, 2022and contains a set of leaderboards that as well as showcasing the star photos of well over 200 Local Guides, it presents a very detailed objective analysis of their performance, and you too can join in! At any time you can see the star photos of participating Local Guides and others by visiting the Local Guides, 2022 Star Photos post and to see why so many Local Guides love participating on the leaderboards, just hit this link.
And you don't have to be a "top gun" Level 10 with millions of views to participate!
The leaderboards have been specifically designed so that Local Guides at any level can participate, and you'll see many do. So whether you are an entry level Local Guide or from a small town or village, or a top level Local Guide from London, New York, Paris or New Delhi, you can join in and it's simple to do! You'll find all the information you need and more here.
Is this a competition?
While there is an inherent competitive element within them, the aim of these leaderboards is to motivate us, help us to think about and monitor our contributions and performance, and show us how to improve and make better contributions so that we achieve better results, all in a fun and enjoyable way! If this can be done then these leaderboards will have achieved their objective; mission accomplished!
So what can you learn from these Leaderboards?
You can learn a lot by the very detailed and objective analysis of the star photos of the hundreds of participating Local Guides including, for example, what type of places and what type of photos seem to get the most views.

2 - Top 100 Star Photos Leaderboard by Country - All Participating Local Guides (May, 2022)
When it comes to the Top 100 Local Guides leaderboards, it's important to try and have a level playing field and, as described here in the leaderboard documentation, this is why we have top 100 leaderboards for each of the different Local Guide levels. We need to also recognize that bigger cities like London, New York, Paris and Delhi, have more potential Places of Interest (POIs) to review and take photos of, and some very popular POIs like the Eiffel Tower or the Statue of Liberty which would attract significantly more views.
It follows therefore, that Local Guides in these larger cities would have greater opportunities for making Maps contributions, both reviews and photos, and would likely more easily gain more points and views than Local Guides in the smaller cities, towns and villages. While it is not possible here on Connect for the top 100 leaderboards to drill down into different cities, towns and villages, we should at least have a leaderboard of top 100 star views by country, and this is what the following leaderboard is about.
