Those locations have been added to our locations page and I've also sorted the locations into seasons to make it easier to find locations of interest.

Just found the store used as Larson's Print Shop in the Challenge episode.

692 East Hastings Street, Vancouver.

This is how it looked in the show...





And this is what it looks like as of 2019...

Amazing!!!
That wasn't an easy one for sure!
Good job!

Yeah, it took a bit of creative searching to find it.

Here's some shots of the back alley to the print shop, where MacGyver takes out the two buffoons.

This is how we see it in the episode



This is how it looks today




They used the actual back of the shop for this whole scene.

How do you find all these?

Has anyone been to these locations, did you plan a trip around location hunting?

For me it's a combination of Google products, image search,maps and standard search. It can be a long drawn out process of following a trail of image results or search keywords. 2-3 hours can flick by without even noticing, strangely it always seems to happen late at night.

For example I located the Madonna church by doing an image and map search in Google for Vancouver churches.

The print shop above was the result of a combination of searching businesses in Vancouver (again in Google) with street addresses of 692 and printing stores then visiting the locations in Google maps street view.

Others have actually visited the sites and kindly allow the use of their photos on this site. Their names are listed at the bottom of the locations page

wow great job you two.

Amazing how you find all these places, without even having been there. Brilliant work!

Now I have something that struck me last time I was in Vancouver (August 2008). I stayed with friends in an apartment building that was next to the Qube aka the Phoenix Building, on West Georgia St. On my first day off I wanted to try and find the place where Mac's houseboat had been. Maybe it would be a long search, but I had all day to myself, the weather was okay, so why not. Munching my breakfast I looked out the side window (the one from which I could almost touch the Qube, and saw the marina down behind. And suddenly I recognized it. This was the Bute Marina. I had no idea that the houseboat and the Phoenix Building had been that close to each other, maybe 200 meters.
Why am I telling this now? A few days ago I watched a few episodes of season 3, with some panoramic shots of the Phoenix Building with a bay and boats in the background. And now I knew that if the camera angle would have been just a little more to the left, we would have seen the houseboat. But I believe they avoided to show the houseboat, to give us the idea that it was located in a whole different area.
Maybe this is a well known fact, but new to me. I made some pictures at the time, but don't know how to post them.

I sure love to see those pictures some time!

In the episode Eagles, the structure MacGyver landed on to collect the eggs from the eagles nest is "The Totem Pole" in Monument valley.

This is a capture from the episode



This is a capture from Google Maps


There's even a mention in Wikipedia about this area featuring in MacGyver!

Very nice!
You sure have a sharp eye!

Wow! Great job there, Rocky!

AWESOME! We've been trying to work out what that building was for ages!

Can you tell us how you identify the parking lot and warehouse?

Well, one time I was looking for the locations from 2 season 'Eraser' episode, with the Google Earth, But I didn't found. So I just rolled the map with computer mouse, just for fun. And the I saw a some warehouse and the warehouse's front wall, doors and windows and then I wondered that looks same as a Nightmares episode warehouse. The buildings in Google Earth are sometimes 3d pictures, but sometimes you see only the roof. So I opened the Bing Map and checked the place with birds eye view. It was just a luck, that I found that place

Rock the Cradle

Jacks hanger

Hanger
Boundray Bay Airport
7630 Montreal St, Delta, BC

This large hanger seems to house at least a couple of different tenants at either end of the building.
Also we can see that other buildings have popped up around it since MacGyver filmed there.

Thanks!

You can watch the street view with Google Earth in warehouse location. The fire post which Mac hit with iron bar, is still there and the drain sewer where the drug pen was dropped to there. The sewer cover is different now. The brown wood doors are changed.
There was a paper sign ''AVAILABLE FOR FILMING''. Thats incredible.

B is wrong.

In the over head view B is right next to water. Where is the water in the episode view?

Whats the other picture showing. It looks like a really old and bad satellite image.

Can you give us some screen shots from the episodes to compare?

The bad satellite image is taken in same place in 1994. It's one proof, that episode was filmed in there, because you see the two slides, which are going down to the water. And these slides you see in that episode.

This is some pictures the compare the place.

Second compare image.

yeah those two pictures look like a good match. Which episode/scene are they for?

Your earlier B photos still don't match though, both the roof size and location don't match up for reasons explained in earlier post. One's by water and one isn't.
