What makes this interesting is that Maiya actually got stuck at the right spot, if she were heading to the X on her map. I'm not sure if the drivers got additional directions, but what all other teams did was to drive past the X, across the bridge, then park immediately to their right.

And here are the maps for Leg Two. Looks like Art/JJ drove all the way back to Santa Barbara to ask for directions.

Neobie, I'm sorry to say it, but the Buenos Aires map have some mistakes.

1.- Not all the teams took the route you indicate to go the Mercado de Liniers (that looks good on Google Map or something like that; but trust me, it's not the one I choose, I live on Buenos Aires and I know what I'm talking about).  The first bunch of teams (Art/JJ, Rachel/Dave, Rachel/Brendon & Mark/Bopper) were taken there using Eduardo Madero Ave., Ing. Huergo Ave., 25 de Mayo Highway, Dellepiane Highway, Larrazabal Ave., Eva Perón Ave. and Lisandro de la Torre Ave. until the insertection with De los Corrales Ave. where they find the statue with the clues.  The image from pic "a" supports this fact, that is Eduardo Madero Ave..

2.- In the same line, Nary & Jaime and Kerry & Stacy made they way to the Mercado by L. N. Alem Ave., Rivadavia Av., Av. de Mayo Ave., 9 de Julio Ave., 25 de Mayo Highway.  At this point, Kerry & Stacy's cab driver followed the same route that the first group of teams; but Nary & Jaime's one took the option through Perito Moreno Highway, J. B. Alberdi Ave. and Lisandro de la Torre Ave. until the same intersection.  The image from pic "b" is from Plaza de Mayo square (the pink building on the left is "Casa Rosada", the seat of Argentinian Goverment), and the only way to cross it is using this route.

3.- In the last four teams case, I'm pretty sure that they used one of those two routes too if not both.

4.- Another facts that supports all this are the pics "c" and "d".  In pic "c" Brendon and Rachel are running with the wall on their right.  The only way this could happened was if they did in South-North direction.  Another evidence is the white building on pic "d", that is on the south-west extreme of the Mercado and it's on the other side of Lisandro de la Torre Ave., the same place were the taxi driver dropped Brenchel.  Also, Art & JJ saw them running along the avenue and passed them on their cab. 

5.- Nary & Jaime and Vanessa & Ralph are the only teams who arrived from the opposite direction. Evidence: pic "e", the wall is on their left..

6.- Joey Fitness & Danny, Kerry & Stacy, Dave & Cherie and Elliot & Andrew also arrived from the south..

7.- This is a minor correction:  is "Puerto Madero", not "Puerto Madera".

Neobie:
Last bunch of maps, with thanks to Jacobsk68, Alenaveda, Chateau, TarJunkie999, Bcp19 and DrRox!
(Buenos Aires corrected, thanks Alenaveda! Let me know of any other things to change!)

Legs 9 and 10

I found the Fast Forward temple just outside Cherthala, not Kuthiathodu as the wiki page has it. Could someone with an account help change that please? It's distinctive on Google Maps as the temple is sited at an angle to the main road.





Leg 11







Leg 12

Neobie:
And here's the placemark folder of all the locations on TAR 20!
(Well, except for that pesky Kochi resort, which I'll hopefully get to continue looking some time...)

Oh, I saved the airport placemarks in another folder from the seasons folders (multiple LAX placemarks don't work very well on my computer), so they won't appear on here.

Nothing else.  I'm unable to give you a route from the Mercado to the PitStop, because I only have the Directorio Ave. as a reference during the taxi race between Davechel and Art & JJ and the rest of the images are too short to make a suitable location, that means a lot of posibilities  :( . So..., I think we can say the Buenos Aires map is done  :tup: .
