Title: TAR 31 Maps Thread
Post by: claude_24hrs on April 18, 2019, 09:21:48 AM

Post for maps during the course of the race. It's been over a year got silent with map making.

In addition to Hermosa Beach, Narita, etc...

• acb lock (https://goo.gl/maps/FD5U8tZazXu)
• Tokyo-Tokyo restaurant (https://goo.gl/maps/mnxtvuKMPhJ2)
• Edgeof (https://goo.gl/maps/ZDqi89oNAje8PxXD7)
• Onarimon station, Shibakoen (https://goo.gl/maps/mRbuBstbSua2KTV1A)

I think the restaurant was actually known as the Izakaya Mameyakko; did they call it "Tokyo Tokyo" after the doorway decoration to make it unsearchable on the internet?
Atago Shrine is walking distance from the "Mt Fuji" slide; teams would have saved time going on foot rather than looking for a cab!

I'm sure now; the alley entrance is between the Indigo Cafe and the red Western Union shack--here (https://goo.gl/maps/ojkmvtmbCJYTHAs6A).

Leg 5

• The only Al Faqa (https://goo.gl/maps/SoUhRTTVnzN4EMT48) I could find is on the border with Abu Dhabi.
• Dubai Frame (https://goo.gl/maps/uobKYDwjY8RgpuW39)
• Dubai Garden Glow (https://goo.gl/maps/Pdps2VUWmbEsL37S6) and park map (https://wiki--travel.com/images/location-map-of-dubai-garden-glow/location-map-of-dubai-garden-glow-5.jpg)
• Burj Khalifa (https://goo.gl/maps/wUJKPLsPw7bW5ZuC6); the actual thing is named Mission 828 (https://www.viveport.com/apps/cf56c00e-1444-49a7-ace7-10ea70433e44/Mission_828/)
• Soho Garden (https://goo.gl/maps/WiNMzhkSBLzx6zHp8)
• Xline Dubai Marina (https://goo.gl/maps/NL6Hqco5ib1DHC4u8); the actual zipline runs from the Amwaj tower to the Marina Mall

Post by: Neobie on May 25, 2019, 02:52:15 PM

Thanks Slowhatch! Here's Legs 3 and 4 in Ho Chi Minh City.

A few tidbits:
- The Detour options of Leg 3 (Reel It In/Light It Up) and Leg 4 (Irritation/Irrigation) are on the same island, with only one road in and out. Teams paying attention in Leg 3 would have a much easier time in Leg 4.
- It's a long run from the Binh Quoi Tourist Village to the Pit Stop, around 3.6km/2.2mi.
- Teams started Leg 5 outside the InterContinental Saigon, so I assume that was the Pit Stop hotel.

Title: Re: TAR 31 Maps Thread
Post by: georgiapeach on May 25, 2019, 06:16:38 PM

Awesome thanks!!

Waiting for that "Where's Neobie" thread too please!!

Title: Re: TAR 31 Maps Thread
Post by: Neobie on May 28, 2019, 04:03:52 AM

Leg 5: Dubai.

As to where I am... I'm hunting down the exact locations for Leg 6! ;)

Title: Re: TAR 31 Maps Thread
Post by: Slowhatch on May 29, 2019, 11:12:02 PM

Leg 7

• Miki's pub (https://goo.gl/maps/mYCH7pFWYpsmpREf6); you can see the soundman in the background entering the "Equity agency" (actually just a pop-up branch of Equity Bank).
• Canyon Swing (https://goo.gl/maps/wB7AL7j2MMdb3QBF7)
• DDP (https://goo.gl/maps/pfBnLTHWyhtXe91f7)
• Gelmerbahn (https://goo.gl/maps/SgRCHEK1zv1WQmJz5)
• According to the map provided by Canyoning Grimsel (https://www.outdoor-interlaken.ch/en/activity/55/canyoning-grimsel), the canyon route starts at or near the Haaggen (https://goo.gl/maps/KhNxPRcWFxs2YRY78) and finishes near the DDP.
• Michaelskirche (https://goo.gl/maps/oAtg4nTZ8gSt1SBXA)

Edit: What I thought was the DDP was actually the start and finish of the canyon Detour. The DDP/helo landing was the scree field--here (https://goo.gl/maps/hFYh9Jb1XRkLkYQdA)--about 1,000 ft. away. The Haaggen was just the rappel point.

Title: Re: TAR 31 Maps Thread
Post by: Neobie on May 31, 2019, 03:03:05 PM

The Pit Start was at the Peace Hub garden (https://www.spekeresort.com/peace-hub/) of Speke Resort, right next to Jahazi Pier.

Title: Re: TAR 31 Maps Thread
Post by: Slowhatch on June 06, 2019, 12:22:33 AM

Leg 8

• I can't link to the Ballenberg map directly:go here (https://www.ballenberg.ch/en/) and click on "Plan" (upper-right; you may have to open the map, close then open again to load it correctly). The teams used the east entrance and the vote was taken in the Recreation Pavilion (https://www.ballenberg.ch/en/themes/house-styles/7-central-switzerland/761). The cow dressing was done next to the farmhouse (https://www.ballenberg.ch/en/themes/house-styles/9-eastern-switzerland/911)/wellhouse (https://www.ballenberg.ch/en/themes/house-styles/9-eastern-switzerland/912) (911/912 on the map), and the cows were led to the "Midlands" square (the buildings 621/641/etc.). The scythe task was here (https://goo.gl/maps/9iNEoHWAwef67uBR9), right across the path from the cow finish.
• The RB was in this field (https://goo.gl/maps/g1tjdVbSHCMD6Dhj6).
• Boat rental (https://goo.gl/maps/8wSacnf8Vwvhx6Nv8)

Note: the Stansstad bridge shot was just misleading editing; the Afghanimals weren't that lost.

Post by: Neobie on June 09, 2019, 09:27:20 AM

I'll put up the maps for Legs 7-8 later in case there are extra locations at the start of Leg 9, but Leo/Jamal were shown getting lost here (https://www.google.com/maps/@46.7444784,8.0601346,3a,60y,359.85h,94.33t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1scV6o9mDmjhOcjB2EYFSSww!2e0!7i13312!8i6656), here (https://www.google.com/maps/@46.7453687,8.0587515,3a,60y,271.39h,92.03t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sk5aYRu0cBauNKinkzCpO6g!2e0!7i13312!8i6656), and here (https://www.google.com/maps/@46.7064076,7.9598777,3a,15y,258.47h,92.85t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sQoScDdjc104fgqps9ivjeA!2e0!7i13312!8i6656).

From Ballenberg, teams should have turned left to get to Oberschwanden for the archery task, which is just 4.2km/2.6mi away. Leo/Jamal turned right onto the main highway instead, taking a route that would have taken them 6.7km/4.2mi, but would still bring them to the right place.

While entering Brienz, Leo/Jamal panic and make a U-turn, compounding their error by going the wrong way along Lake Brienz for another 9.4km/5.8mi in the wrong direction. In total, they travelled more than 25.5km/15.8mi, six times as much as they needed to.

Since my previous post didn't make sense without a map, here's Legs 7 and 8!
(Will update if there are additional locations in Switzerland for Leg 9.)

You are a legend for doing these, Neobie. The maps for Leg 7 look complicated.

Title: Re: TAR 31 Maps Thread
Post by: Slowhatch on June 12, 2019, 11:22:12 PM

Leg 9
The start was back in Meiringen.

• Caffe bar Žbirac (https://goo.gl/maps/M4Ky1Az7cyLdCY7o9)
• Caves behind St. Jerome (https://goo.gl/maps/XocoHcs5xPVuoenbA)
• Both Detour choices were in Kasjuni (https://goo.gl/maps/kugK2Mx711fVGGa47).
• Diocletian's palace (https://goo.gl/maps/jpEUT7xJXqb4hJZn6)
• Pit stop (https://goo.gl/maps/9NkaSTDyjs3oejxM6)

Title: Re: TAR 31 Maps Thread
Post by: Slowhatch on June 20, 2019, 02:33:56 PM

Leg 10
Riva Travel (https://goo.gl/maps/Et3gWKSwMTcbbBNKA) (Split). Then...

• The bike and car pickup was here (https://goo.gl/maps/ZnBNMYcoFFtVyamN7)
• Jachthaven (https://goo.gl/maps/Jg1ETKhpqR9tuRhC7) (some odd editing here: teams didn't have to cross the bridge to reach the marina)
• plastic cows (https://goo.gl/maps/7Vo1Pfw6pAceDXtG9)
• The fierljeppen was next to Erf 29 (https://goo.gl/maps/CngnXRt28mCGjguj8), a museum
• New Tower (https://goo.gl/maps/YBwFes5GwALwqv6b8)
• The market was the normal Saturday Plantage market--approx here (https://goo.gl/maps/7aqZPb8R1g8ENXdn7)
• Smit Giethoorn (https://goo.gl/maps/bSrPv49XGjsBrEwV8); the first boat pickup was next to Camping D'Hof (https://goo.gl/maps/2LGwCDA3c67cj1An6) and the second was next to the museum (https://goo.gl/maps/QzJurSojpgxe6KEX9)
• Eilandje Bovenwijde (https://goo.gl/maps/iMc8ueGnKKntTHjr5)--Pitstop

I forgot about the W-Turn box; it was on the quay north of the bridge (you can see passengers on the Summertime (https://goo.gl/maps/NkxNnkQ8PXTRnxrw6) watching the teams)
Another omission!  :groan: The confessionals look like they were next to Monk's Mill (https://en.molendatabase.nl/nederland/molen.php?nummer=812).

Post by: Neobie on June 22, 2019, 04:53:47 AM

Thanks Slowhatch! Here's Leg 9 in Split, Croatia.

Looks like Phil mixed up the cocktail-toting beach (Bacvice Beach) with Detour beach (Kasjuni Beach).
While the Detour Decision at the monastery was really close to the actual tasks at Kasjuni, teams would have had to take the long way round down the mountain and through the Marjanski Tunnel to get from one to the other.

Title: Re: TAR 31 Maps Thread
Post by: Neobie on June 23, 2019, 05:56:54 AM

Leg 10 in the Netherlands.

Lots of mistakes this leg! Becca/Floyd had to do an extra 6.2mi/10.1km round-trip to fetch an unbroken egg, and Leo/Jamal overshot their second boat by 0.6mi/1km before turning around.

Leg 11
I haven't found the start-line hotel yet.

• The helicopter took teams from Gatwick Aviation Museum (https://goo.gl/maps/bohFRmruN6tKkVpb7) to Dover Castle (https://goo.gl/maps/efJRmxSBM55Yc5Gd8) and then to Falcon London Heliport (https://goo.gl/maps/av9CxnXt5vs7TVrj8).
• The boats took teams from Masthouse Terrace (https://goo.gl/maps/EL6QCLJXcwM6nzAv6) to ??: the landing wasn't shown, but Leo said "Savoy Theatre" so I'll guess the Embankment Pier (https://goo.gl/maps/XV2Co9HFNhtC23yt9).
• Shaftesbury Memorial Fountain (https://goo.gl/maps/694BTi5wFMfx2Rwd8) (Note: Phil's standup--below--was from the top of New Zealand House (https://www.emporis.com/buildings/110725/new-zealand-house-london-united-kingdom)).
• Cabman's shelter (https://goo.gl/maps/5zqhHAeYWkBeL5Wi8); the route--below--could be seen for a few frames.
• Bluebird boats (https://goo.gl/maps/1U1MB5bDKsM2d6n1A)
• Camden Market (https://goo.gl/maps/MG3FTDryxubVLvgB7)

Title: Re: TAR 31 Maps Thread
Post by: Slowhatch on June 27, 2019, 08:58:42 PM

Leg 12

• Spirit of Detroit (https://goo.gl/maps/X68jkMWy1MWVDw6b6); the Guardian bldg. is across the street.
• Fowling Warehouse (https://goo.gl/maps/ogNkwfT6cPbfDCt76)
• Third Man Records (https://goo.gl/maps/5xaADvsAuvwdwRit9)
• Hart Plaza (https://goo.gl/maps/ZqRojdhb3DiL51Fi6); the fountain reminds me of the "Fountain of Wealth" in Singapore (TAR 3).
• Fort Wayne (https://goo.gl/maps/mcnpVaieswEzAwBp8)

Addition: from reading the Updates thread, it seems there was an unaired task at the Heidelberg Project (https://goo.gl/maps/ddGNge1tB3eoTUXT7).

Title: Re: TAR 31 Maps Thread
Post by: Neobie on July 01, 2019, 01:19:17 AM

Looks like the Pit Start was at De Koperen Hoogte (https://www.google.com/maps/@52.5843365,6.191658,499m/data=!3m1!1e3) just outside of Zwolle, 27km/17mi from the Pit Stop at Giethoorn!

Title: Re: TAR 31 Maps Thread
Post by: Neobie on July 28, 2019, 01:53:28 PM

Thanks Slowhatch! Here's Leg 11: London.

The route for the cab ride shown on TV wasn't 100% correct; teams turned West on Courtfield Rd and returned East on Harrington Gardens, instead of turning West on Harrington Gardens and back East on Old Brompton Rd. This means a couple of landmarks on the route, like the Bentley Hotel, were also mislabelled.

The reason why the rug was so hard to find in Camden Market is that it's on a different side from all the other items; a logical route would allow you to pick up the 7 other items easily, but you'd need to return to the start and go in the opposite direction to find the rug.
