The leg maps use what3words for GPS location. "What3words is a system that divides the entire world into a grid of 57 trillion 3-by-3-metre squares. Each square is assigned a unique three-word address, which allows for more accurate and efficient location sharing both online and offline. The system aims to provide a simplified and user-friendly way of communicating precise locations." You should download the app to your phone. You can use the unique designations to locate exchanges and report your location in case of an emergency.

This is a subjective ranking. Flat legs are easier than hilly ones, shorter legs are easier than longer legs, and paved roads are easier than gravel roads, but this ranking is hardly scientific. It’s best to print all the legs, look them over, and decide as a team who gets which legs. You are not required to run/walk the legs in a particular sequence, but all legs must be covered. If Joe Runner wants to do Legs 2 and 12, or Jane Walker wants to do Legs 1, 3 and 11, that’s permitted.
