The planed 12m drive to the SSW on sol 3730 seems to have gone well.

I finally got the new location data. Perhaps there was also a cache server delay...
Anyway, 3721 was not too bad but 3274 was an overshot! Here is the real route.

The Curiosity's Location map hasn't been updated since sol 3715.
However, the rover has driven on sol 3721 and sol 3724 and seems to be heading for a group of boulder near the base of the butte to the east.
Despite not having the localizations data, here is my attempt to recreate the path, based on the received images.
It will, of course, be updated once real data is available.

Curiosity is still at the same location (sol 3708) but there are new target names.
I can't tell, from the images returned, if the drill attempt at "El Encanto" went deep enough.
If indeed it was successful I'll add it in the next update.

The last quarter of 2022 saw Curiosity study the Marker Band Valley, then drive west and attempt to visit the Greenheugh Pediment.
Turning back, it unsuccessfully tried to drill a hole on the Marker Band, and then moved to the valley floor, to rejoin the Mount Sharp ascent route.

Here is a visualization of Curiosity's travels on the third quarter of 2022. In all images North is at the top.

The path for sols 3609 to 3698 (October 1st to December 31st, 2022):

The above in a wider context (since sol 2632, December 31st, 2019):

Where (and when) has Curiosity been?

Curiosity will be parked at the 3690 location until the first days of 2023. I can, thus, create some views of Curiosity's route progress that encompass the upcoming New Year.

In all the images North is towards the right.

Route and locations on January 1st:

I think it is time for a peek ahead: a comparison of the actual and notional routes, the only kind of futurology I dare to make.

Update to sol 3681. Curiosity is still parked at the sol 3672 location, after two attempts to drill a full length hole.

This KMZ includes new target names and the following data from PDS MSL Release 31:
- Route localization data for sols 0-3567 (the full path has been reviewed and updated)
- Analyst's Notebook data for sols 1-3547
