Local Guides also enjoy early access to new product features as well as occasional perks from some of our partners and benefits from Google. There is no financial compensation from being a Local Guide as this is an at-will program that you are free to contribute to at your own leisure.

@LoVe शब सबकछ S Are you talking about the badge shown on Maps, or the badges on Local Guides Connect? The badge on Maps is basically to give recognition for Local Guides level 3 and above, to show that they've made great contribution to Google Maps. The badge in Local Guides Connect is basically a form of gamification, to recognize involvement of Local Guides in the Local Guides Connect forum.
As for what's after level 5, keep contributing 🙂 Personally for me I don't care too much about the levels. All I care is that the information I provide will help me in the future, and also help others.

I think there need to upgrade levels such as 1000, 1500. 2000,2500 etc.just for encouragement.

I think satisfaction with the work is main gain. Number of photo viewers increasing day by day and helped by the added information gives me a satisfaction. I hope google team will evaluate our work in upcoming days beyond 500 points too. So let's not worry about this. Badges are virtual medals for our contribution.

I think so. There should be a next level or point system to encourage more.

The badges are nothing more then a recognition that you have done something.
No other use then that.
And the points after 500: if there are a lot of people, maybe they will add extra levels???

I think after 500 points you start to get self motivated!
