Awesome Neobie!!

 :thankyou:

Neobie:
Thanks all, and thanks Alenaveda for identifying many of the locations on the Episode Thread! Legs 6-7 in Córdoba.

Alenaveda:
You're welcome, Neobie.

All that is still pissing me is being unable to find the location of the finger tips Detour.  :groan:

Neobie:
Leg 8 in Montevideo.

- The first turn right out of the Pit Start is tricky. The main road bends around to the right, down towards the water, but it's the wrong water. The correct way is to take a side road to the left instead, and both Yvonne/Melissa and Sunny/Bizzy miss this, sending them into the town area. Definitely one spot where reading the map before starting the car would help!

- Sunny/Bizzy took a hilarious and haphazard tour of downtown. I can't even draw out their route or the whole map would be red.

- Vinny was 100% right on how to get back to their car after the Detour. They were only one block away (120m/130yd) before Amber took them off on a wild goose chase. (His attitude is indefensible, but his directions were correct.)

- There's a lot of creative editing in this episode, with Juan/Shane teleporting between getting stuck in Cerro and getting stuck in Centro multiple times. Their route to the Pit Stop was especially confusing. Shane tells Juan to turn right immediately after starting their car (on Isla de Flores), which would lead straight into oncoming traffic on a one-way street (Gaboto). They could just take the next right, but that leads them south towards the coast, whereas we see them immediately afterwards up north on Av Rivera, in the middle of the city. (This is when the voiceover about one-way streets is spliced in.)

- In any case, Av Rivera is by no means the best way (or second, or third best way) to get to the Pit Stop; I have no idea why Shane thought it would be a good idea, Hail Mary or not.

(I've also updated some of the earlier maps with the Amazing Yellow Line! Making all the maps very confusing in the process...)

Neobie:
Leg 9 in Barbados.

- Vinny's strategy of "this way is where majority of things are" is... not a great strategy. They start off crossing the river to the south side, in completely the wrong direction of where they need to go.

- The road tennis is not easy to find on Google Maps. Parkinson Rd doesn't show up, and Fairfield Rd is marked on a different (unconnected) section of the road, just 100m away but enough to throw people off. Rod/Letitia seem to have entered the area from the south instead of the north, hence running into the (race-related) road closure.

- The Angie/Danny debacle may have had some editing shenanigans, but based on the footage we're shown, they didn't realise they lost their crew until 2.4km/1.5mi after the Henry Forde Roundabout, at the Oistins Fish Market. No wonder the crew were out of radio range!
