It would be interesting to see the paths of our wonderful MERs depicted as elevation over time.

Spirit headed for the hills, and now Opportunity is headed for Endeavour

Acutally although there is partial route map information in Google Mars, Eduardo's Google Mars map only covers Opportunity from Victoria crater onward. I'd love to see Spirit's traverse and the rest of Opportunity's mapped out in Google Mars to the same fidelity, but don't have time. This would be a great project for someone who wanted to learn the ins and outs of Google Earth and receive the undying gratitude of other UMSF members...I'd be glad to tutor this hypothetical person in bringing in MOLA data & determining elevations....
