Thread created for posting MSL route maps and map updates.
Comments / suggestions adding value to the route maps are allowed, but discussions regarding the route itself and "future" paths are not. Use the currently active thread for the latter. Eduardo Tesheiner Moderator ----- Here's an updated map of activities near the landing site and the start of a map of the route to Glenelg. I may get one more step added to this before I have to take a break Aug. 31 to Sept 16, and I will resume it after that. Details will be revised as necessary as we go.

Had to give this crazy idea a try, using Phil's route map to make this anaglyph route map.
(It's a work in progress. For example, two versions of the rover are used, both direct from HiRISE, including that recent spectacular 3D. I couldn't use it for all the sols, as the 3D effect won't work when it's rotated too far from original orientation, so for now made a rudimentary secondary one for some of the other sols. Also, will take out the circles where the rover made minor turns. When viewing just plot points and lines, there's a tendency to forget just how big the rover and tracks are – for me, anyway! So had to give this a try. I don't have the time to plot out the route sol by sol, but can update this anaglyph now and then as Phil, Tesh and others update their maps. Thanks for your work, fellows!) |
