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.

Thanks, Polaris. The problem comes from the source of the names, the near-daily updates from JPL such as this one:
https://mars.nasa.gov/msl/mission-updates/8...-freezing-cold/ You can see the errors you mentioned in that update. If I notice an error I change it but usually I am too busy to pay attention and I just copy and paste. I am always pleased to have the corrections and I will add them to the map (and please everyone, keep sending them, don't think I will be offended). Ultimately, however, my map has to match what goes into the public record in the PDS Analyst's notebook. If I find, 6 months from now, that the PDS has the correct spelling I will use it, but if they have the wrong spelling I have to match them, not the official name of the place.
