I have recently freaked out a little bit about Martian maps of all sorts. And finally I was astonished with those highly detailed beauties that I list below. Nonetheless. some of them have huge inconsistencies (crater names) easily noticed when we compare the surroundings of Gusev crater. Enjoy:

Thank you!
I would recommend HRSC result. MOLA result is in this case affected by lack of coverage as it clearly missed the lowest point. It's a pity that MOLA suffered fatal malfunction long before MGS' end of mission. We could have better coverage of the Martian surface by the laser altimetry. -------------------- |

Dear Machi, Thank you very much for your kind answer |
