After first month on Mars, I think it's time to start a topic similar to MER one...
First odometry plot to start: -------------------- I always think before posting! - Marco -

That shows us about 5m higher than at landing, our highest point yet. Promising for views.

Yes, fredk; in the following plots I also added last 10 Sol average distance (similar to MER stat plot) and average slope in each drive (bottom plot):

Update with a longer time baseline:
Interestingly, average speed in last "long" drives tends to steady increase from 12 to 15 mm/sec... (updated to Sol347 / drive #69 -------------------- I always think before posting! - Marco -

Update with zoom on last drives:
With last huge drive (#71, 85m) Curiosity is now at her farthest point from Bradbury landing station: 481m (203° azimut), compared to previous 444m record (sol 125)! Elevation is slightly decreasing (negative slope in last two drives) and average speed is quite stable, both within each drive both on a 10 sol base... -------------------- I always think before posting! - Marco -
