Leg 1
We had everything except for the FF decision point (here). We had Copacabana, the particular stretch is here.

I thought the FF decision point was at the heliport........where all the teams went.  All the teams didn't go to Sao Conrado.

Sorry, that was sloppy on my part; it's where Justin/Diana decided not to go.

again I am going to disagree with you Slowhatch. Justin and Diana were at the tale off ramp up on the side of the mountain when the guy told them there was too much wind. Then they decided to go back and do the regular route.

Here is the viewpoint represented by the middle pane; the clubhouse is right next to Sao Conrado beach at the bottom of the hill. If you zoom in you will see the door they were standing at when they got the bad news.

I think the only thing we lacked for Leg 2 was the other Detour; here is the suggested route from Google from the antique shop to Plaza Seeber.

Some of the streets are correct, but here's the rute they took:

Defensa St - Estados Unidos St. - Ingeniero Huergo Ave. - Eduardo Madero Ave. - Córdoba Ave. - Leando N. Alem Ave. - Del Libertador Ave. - Figueroa Alcorta Ave. - Sarmiento Ave.

Leg 4
I didn't find the Big Five Co-op; wherever it is, it's tucked into an "office park" with some auto shops.

That should be leg 5. There's no part 2 of continuation leg unlike older TAR seasons.

The start of the "Bring the Fun" Detour was at the Rajeshwar Temple, 870m/950yd from the wedding.

Hmm, looks like at least two hotels were used in Agra? The night confessionals after Agra II seem to be at the Oberoi Amarvilas, while the Pit Start was at the Four Points by Sheraton...

Better late than never! Thanks Slowhatch, DrRox, and Alenaveda!
(Managed to get the locations for everything up to Macau, so this probably means the rest of the maps will come soon!)

Leg 3
Justin/Diana took the city bus quite a long way (to El Talar) before hopping on the long-distance bus to San Antonio de Areco.

Leg 4
Found the location of Big Five Co-Op by calling up Premier Motor Spares and asking where they are!
The map on the Rose of Charity website wasn't exactly accurate, it's actually deeper into Chinotimba.

Leg 5
Masuwe Lodge is on the west side of the airport road; it's mislabeled on Panoramio as the Stanley and Livingstone Lodge, which is actually further south.

WOW.... :tu

Sometime after the finale I'll copy these to the appropriate leg threads. (SINCE attachments can be lost at any time... )  :ascared

These are fabulous, thank you for doing them!!   :hearts:

Hats off from me as well. I know how hard it is to find some of these locations.

Leg 7
- It was more than a kilometre between Nolet Distillery and the tram stop, so I can sort of understand why Cindy/Rick wanted to take a bus to the tram.
- Teams got off at The Hague at two separate train stations. Cindy/Rick and Denise/James Earl got off one stop early at Den Haag Hollands Spoor Railway Station, while Justin/Diana went all the way to Den Haag Centraal, which would be slightly faster if the train doesn't linger at Hollands Spoor.
- Man, Cindy/Rick really took quite a detour when they took the wrong tram!

Leg 8
The Detour choice "Music" involved a lot less travelling than the Detour choice "Mine" - 10km/6mi instead of 25km/16mi!

Leg 9
- Major props to Slowhatch for introducing us to Wonobo! Would never have found anything in Agra otherwise!
- Denise/James Earl were brought to Shahjahan Garden instead of the Pit Stop at Mehtab Bagh, but luckily for them this was only 1km away from the U-Turn.

Leg 10
- It was longer to push the swing than to carry the generator/lights - 900m/1000yd vs 500m/550yd, plus the swings further down the road.

Leg 11
My hometown! Geographically a lot simpler to do Sam's rather than Cells. Not sure if it would have been faster for teams to take the Star Ferry from Tsimshatsui to Central before running over to the HK-Macau Ferry Terminal? Would have certainly saved a lot of cash!
