A quick update, good up to sol 3441, but I still have to double-check the last two positions against the navcam mosaics.

Thanks as ever to Tesheiner for updating this map so faithfully.
I was just putting this together for my book and thought I would share it. I still have a few names to add, I think, and a scale. The white squares are the main science stops - a little refinement I have just been adding retroactively to maps for all rovers in the atlas. Phil

Amazing work you guys do. A request for one different view as we proceed up the hill. Could someone take a far off ground level view of Solander Point and from time to time show the general location on the side of that hill? All those outcrops are looking very alike and while the overheads are wonderful, I'm just not getting a feel for how much up is involved in each move.

I think that Midnight Planets can do exactly that.

It can certainly help visualize where the rover is, but the raw tracking data is not precise enough to accurately place the rover from a significant distance (or sometimes, as you know, even from a moderate distance). And I haven't had time to do my own corrections of the tracking data so far.

Here's where I think "Kangaroo Paw" (Sol 3459) is on the Sol 3366 long baseline stereo mosaic. This is based on a whole lot of looking around, but I could easily be wrong... corrections welcome.

I think that's right - there are three rocky spurs - tiny outcrops - here, seen in Navcams, and we can see them here in your anaglyph.

That's very helpful. I remember many such virtual views from a distance being posted when we were at Victoria crater. I think it's time to resurrect the genre. We're on a convex slope here so the view from the rover is limited and not easily related to the wider context.

Total stab-in-the-dark attempt to relate the positions in the last two perspectives in Phil's link and mhoward's post.
