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 (https://plus.google.com/photos/photo/105206669834307746305/6113516002247857426)). The phone shop is somewhere nearby but I haven't found it yet.
The delivery destinations are below.

The Kasbah Museum (https://goo.gl/maps/cy56AVnetzD2) (second gnome spot). I'd never seen this before and looked it up; it's Tifinagh (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tifinagh), used to write the Berber languages.

Leg 4
We already have the beach and the terrain (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P%C3%A9tanque#Playing_area)/pitstop.
La Table Tropezienne (https://www.latabletropezienne.com/en/find-us/)
Rondini St. Tropez (http://www.rondini.fr/en/contact/)

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 5
We already knew the arena and Chateau des Baux.
Café de la Fontaine (https://goo.gl/maps/BT2DkzfKqQM2)
Van Gogh bridge (https://goo.gl/maps/CrGHrLEXHBG2)
Hotel Restaurant Benvengudo (https://goo.gl/maps/H4dmAWJxzE32)

Post by: Neobie on January 26, 2018, 01:50:49 AM

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.

Leg 4: St-Tropez and Leg 5: Alpilles, with thanks to Slowhatch!

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.

Leg 6
We already knew about half.

Legs 7-8
We already had a couple of the places
Travel agency (Prague) (https://goo.gl/maps/AuCtogbKjit)
The only landscape I can find that fits the map (below) is the part of Imire here (https://goo.gl/maps/Cnd14f1fsmD2)
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 (https://goo.gl/maps/14BqX8R7JZN2)
Google's suggested walking route (https://goo.gl/maps/SkKShaiDZS42) from Magaba market to Cameron fabrics

Title: Re: TAR 30 Maps
Post by: Slowhatch on February 09, 2018, 11:35:42 PM

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 (http://www.zimyellow.com/listing/8637/dst-pvt-ltd)--in the right place. So I'll posit the tire truck as parked in the circle (below, map view (https://goo.gl/maps/mPBx6ngZtZ22)).

We already had Ratchaphruek and the pitstop.
Muharraq falcon statue (https://goo.gl/maps/up95tbKdqwH2)
Patara elephant farm (http://www.pataraelephantfarm.com/contact-us/)
Based on the shape of the paddy segments (below), I'll put the frog field here (https://goo.gl/maps/PGM712oVVkq).
Khumkhantoke restaurant (http://www.khumkhantoke.com/contact#google-map)

Finale
I think we had just about everything except the Aberdeen Detour.
Restaurant (https://goo.gl/maps/N3Nr2r4Uvw42)
I can't place the crab boat; maybe someone recognizes the buildings in the background.

Title: Re: TAR 30 Maps
Post by: georgiapeach on February 23, 2018, 07:36:58 AM

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

Title: Re: TAR 30 Maps
Post by: G.B. on February 23, 2018, 08:36:37 PM

Aw, I was gonna be so proud in this thread that I'd found the HK restaurant, but you got it. XD

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

Title: Re: TAR 30 Maps
Post by: Slowhatch on February 24, 2018, 07:10:38 PM

OK, I'll try again. The detour started here (https://goo.gl/maps/2uuyQb3F4tP2) on the Aberdeen Promenade (production probably hired a few of those "Big Bus" sampans).
Restaurant teams disembarked here (https://goo.gl/maps/dn7AUJ5G39L2) at the Ap Lei Chau Waterfront Promenade, then walked a block or so to Ap Lei Chau Main st.
In the (Phil) cap below, you can see a distinctive tree and a small lighted "umbrella stand" on the opposite shore. I would match it to this location (https://goo.gl/maps/CR6HZphm1n42), which means that if you turn the camera around you can get a good estimate of where the crab boat was anchored.

Sorry for the delay! Took a while to figure out what Trevor/Chris did in Prague after the telephone Roadblock (which might also explain their elimination).

As noted here (http://forum.realityfanforum.com/index.php/topic,34044.msg1218546.html#msg1218546), teams were directed to Romantický Hotel U Raka after the Roadblock. Trevor/Chris decided to travel by metro from Dejvická Station to Mustek Station, switching to a taxi there.

The problem is Mustek Station is on the other side of the river and nowhere near where they needed to go! Dejvická Station is already the closest station to Romantický Hotel, which is just 1.5km/0.9mi away. The extra time they took would have cost them around 40min, squandering their chance to jump ahead of Jessica/Cody, who were stuck finding a taxi.

Leg 7: Imire. I'm not quite sure which route the Bush Whack Detour took.

Title: Re: TAR 30 Maps
Post by: Neobie on March 10, 2018, 03:24:32 AM

Leg 8: Harare. The U-Turned teams faced an uphill challenge; the two sides of the Detour were 3km/2mi apart.

Title: Re: TAR 30 Maps
Post by: Neobie on March 11, 2018, 01:09:22 AM

Leg 9: Bahrain. The race covered most of the country geographically, not a bad course for our maiden trip there!

Leg 10: Chiang Mai.

Leg 12: San Francisco.

Thanks all who've helped out in this thread, with special credit to Slowhatch!
I've gone back to update some of the earlier maps, including the one reflecting the full race course (http://forum.realityfanforum.com/index.php/topic,33404.msg1207045.html#msg1207045). If you're linking to the maps from somewhere else, remember to update your links!

You need Google Earth (or maybe just Google Maps)
