Leg 1: Iceland. Cody/Jessica did end up quite far away, and in the opposite direction, from where they were supposed to go!

Putting Slowhatch's locations into graphical form! Leg 2: Antwerp.
Teams choosing Diamond Glint had to travel double the distance (2km/1.2mi more) than those choosing Old Print; might explain why they fell behind arriving at the Head-to-Head!

Leg 3
We had almost half of it before the episode started.
The clothing shop (CBS calling it a souk was a bit generous) was at 58 Rue Siaghine--compare the lamps and the sign for the currency exchange shop next door (source). The phone shop is somewhere nearby but I haven't found it yet.
The delivery destinations are below.
Palace Moulay Hafid (Palace of Italian Institutions)

The Kasbah Museum (second gnome spot). I'd never seen this before and looked it up; it's Tifinagh, used to write the Berber languages.

Took a while, but found the location of the teleboutique!

As teams were leaving the teleboutique, they passed by signs for "Bijouterie de Paris", "Dar Souran", and "Tingis Sport", which puts them in the vicinity of Rue Almohades just north of the Petit Socco.

Look around the area and there's only one location that matches the geography on the show, at the junction of Rue Hadj Mohamed Torres and Rue Almohades.

Leg 3: Tangier (with a big map for the medina!). Team members doing the Roadblock would have had to go 1.5km/0.9mi, and teams doing the Drop It Off side of the Detour would have had to go another 1.6km/1mi more. Doesn't sound too bad, but the medina is full of slopes!

The overnight stay at the Hotel Ibis was edited out.

Some switchbacks have gone back to the original location, and being in Prague would suggest that is a more likely than not proposition....and not to say that the locale looks very similar to TAR 15’s task location.

Legs 7-8
We already had a couple of the places
Travel agency (Prague)
The only landscape I can find that fits the map (below) is the part of Imire here
I can't find a listing for Khan fabrics, but judging by the nearby signage (below) it's at 50-55 Harare Rd.
Eastgate shopping mall
Google's suggested walking route from Magaba market to Cameron fabrics

I've changed my mind about the tire roll. The teams were told to go right and up the stairs shortly after the tunnel. You can see the DST factory while BB is going down the stairs, and the local yellow lists the factory here--in the right place. So I'll posit the tire truck as parked in the circle (below, map view).

Finale
I think we had just about everything except the Aberdeen Detour.
Restaurant
I can't place the crab boat; maybe someone recognizes the buildings in the background.

We had rumors of Aberdeen that night but no one was able to get thee fast enough. But the HK team was AMAZING!!

Hello!!! I am from HK! Let’s see if I can help with anything.

From the photo, it is really not possible for me to locate the crab boat but I have a strong feeling that it should be somewhere around Jumbo Kingdom, which is close to the cluebox at the waterfront and the Grub Grab detour
