Introduction:
As Local Guides, it's often amazing which of all of our many photos we contribute to Google Maps has the most views. We've come to call this our star photo and this post is all about such stars. It includes a set of leaderboards that, as well as showcasing the star photos of hundreds of Local Guides from all over the world, presents a very detailed analysis of their performance. We all have a star photo, so you can join in to showcase yours and it's simple to do.

So what can you learn from the Star Photos Leaderboards?
Well from the very detailed analysis of the star photos of the hundreds of participating Local Guides from all over the world, you can learn a lot about what type of places and what type of photos seem to get the most views on Google Maps and remember, views are important as they provide a fairly good indication on how helpful your photos are to Maps users.
The Cover Image:
The cover image is a screenshot taken from the Street View of Mundart, a restaurant situated in the picturesque village of Oberammergau, Germany. it's a charming restaurant known for its cozy ambiance and traditional Bavarian cuisine and lookin at the Maps reviews and photos, it looks like a place where one can enjoy a taste of Bavaria while surrounded by the stunning landscapes of the German Alps. But why might you well ask have I chosen this as the cover image for the April star photo leaderboards post? Read on.

However, interestingly, since 1634 Oberammergau has staged a Passion Play that now attracts some 420,000 to 530,000. The Passion Play is a dramatic re-enactment of the trial, suffering, and death of Jesus Christ. It typically includes scenes from the Last Supper, the betrayal by Judas Iscariot, the crucifixion, and the resurrection. The play originated in medieval Europe and has been performed in various forms for centuries, often as part of religious observances, particularly during the Easter season. This could certainly be a time when Gigi's photo would get a boost in views however, while the Oberammergau Passion Play attracts visitors hundreds of thousands from around the world who come to witness this unique cultural and religious event, it is only staged every ten years and the next one is in 2030! Let's wait and see hey!

This month @Svivek397 joins us on the Star Photos Leaderboards.
Once again with the recent Google Maps media issues, it will be interesting to hear about whether star photo have or have not.
Yet gain, formatting of star photos screenshot postings on the 2024 Star Photo Album continues to be a problem! Many are simply not following the Steps to add your star photo detailed in Section 3 of the Album. Some are close but many are far from it 😱
Everyone please, please, please do your part and check the leaderboards for accuracy.
