QUOTE ("Tesheiner") Bingo. Enjoy! Lol woot!Is Google Mars up to date? or updated often? I recently downloaded the programme and Opportunity was one of my first targets of course. From what I saw, it seemed like it was rather behind in updating Opportunity's path. Most notably, I checked after she turned around and headed for Block Island, but Google Mars did not show that. -------------------- -- Hungry4info (Sirius_Alpha)

I've been using your original three part set of maps, and they seem to work well for me. Would I find much of an advantage in downloading the new v2 extension? The original version works well enough. The updated version is in full resolution, although it only incorporates one extra HiRISE image (so far). it seemed like it was rather behind in updating Opportunity's path. Most notably, I checked after she turned around and headed for Block Island, but Google Mars did not show that. I don't think they've updated Opportunity's path since the first release. That's why Tesheiner's making his Google Mars route map updates. You might also want to download version 1 or version 2 of my additional HiRISE overlays |

I saw just one route update after the first release.
In any case I don't blame them; Opportunity's site is just one of hundreds (if not thousands) of interesting places. If they would have to update GE with each and every new image --or path in this case-- whenever they become available, it would be a significant task in terms of effort (and probably $$$). This is a really powerful tool and I believe it's our opportunity (no pun intended) to make use of it with, for instance, my route map and SFJCody's supplementary background. |

Here's the GE map version for sol 2061. The JPEG map is almost the same as the previous one and I don't want to clutter it too much.
