Thanks, Paolo. I assumed (being a cartographer) that the map at THIS LINK was correct and the reported distance was wrong. But it was the reverse. Here is a corrected version. Oddly, the incorrect version put the current position exactly on the Station 4 point shown on Larry Crumpler's map, which is one reason I thought it might be correct. Conclusion - never trust a cartographer.

...Conclusion - never trust a cartographer. Phil Haha, actually our estimate of distance and position for that drive came from Tim Parker, our own version of Phil Stooke on MER and MSL. So we *do* trust cartographers more than telemetry.
