Because of budget issues, the planned final (rumors where - London) was shifted back to NZ with just 2 tasks.
I need to see the episode again in order to find the exact location – Is it available on youtube?

Thanks SO much!! I'll message you.

As a lover of maps this thread is very cool! I google mapped TAR Canada 7 - https://www.google.com/maps/placelists/list/oIr0QxlJEAnTQ5O3QrnhpU13aUw_nA?hl=en
I’ll have to figure out how to add to Google Earth with labels on roadblocks, detours, pitstops, etc

The latest version of Google Earth has been so optimized on IPad with the iOS 13 that I finally feel brave enough to download the kHz files without overlapping locations from the same race. At this point is there a current index of the files to avoid any duplicate entries?

Thanks Ran and Michal! Any clues that can help to narrow it down would be useful!
Does anyone want to try their hand at figuring out these two TAR Asia locations?
In TAR Asia 1 (filmed in 2006), teams were driven from Dubai to "Margham Desert Camp", turning right off the road into the desert. Not much to go on, except the road is a two-lane one, meaning it's most likely the road from Highway E66 through Margham to Nazwa, rather than a main highway.
In TAR Asia 3 (filmed in 2008), teams had to drive to "Wadi Tanuf in al-Jabal al-Akhdar". The directions given by production probably weren't very good, because everyone became hopelessly lost. Ida/Tanya checked in first at 5.42pm, meaning the shot of them at the Pit Stop is facing south. However, I can't find any view that matches in the area. Would you guys have better luck?
G.B.:
Neobie, I'm in the (slow) process of fixing up my KMZs to match your wonderful, excellent work. I'm on TAR3, and I was wondering if you could explain your reasoning for the airfield on Leg 1 in Mexico. The show calls it the Tequesquitengo Airfield, which Wikipedia points to being the same one that I have marked over in nearby San José Vista Hermosa, just a skip away from Tequesquitengo itself.
Not that I don't trust you or anything, lol, but I was wondering if you'd be able to show your work on that one?
