Amazing Race Questions

apskip, I believe it's been pretty much determined that TPTB no longer adhere to standard 12 hour pit stops or multiples of 12 hours any longer. And recent seasons have also become difficult to ascertain the exact departure times for all legs, as we're often not even told those for all teams, and there have been legs where the departure times were only provided for some teams.
It may be possible to use the sun-shadow method for some of that but I'm not sure at this point we'd be able to cross-reference that for all teams in a season, either.

theschnauzers,
Yes, it is known that pit stop times will vary. My estimates in fact average 20 hours when the three 24 hour extensions are added onto the base for those legs. My pit stop times will range from 8 hours to 42 hours, with a preponderance at 12 hours or 18 hours. You can throw up your hands and say it cannot be done. I just don't agree with that assessment.
The idea of using sun-shadow method is not likely to be effective (I could use a much stronger term but I will be polite) due to no sun shadows after sunset.

On the season 3 cast page on CBS, there are drawings of most of the teams. Does anyone know who drew them or have the missing two (Ken & Gerard and Teri & Ian)?
Dom:
Are teams banned from using services like Google Maps or other directional based navigation? It seems obvious when you know your next destination to print off directions at the airport, but every time we see teams instead struggling to read a map. I guess it wouldn't be much of a race if all teams had exact directions.
Do we know if this practice is banned or not?
