Now we are down safely I am starting a map thread. Everything that happens during 2021 will be covered in my still-in-progress atlas, so I have to make the maps for that and everyone can follow as they evolve.
Let me know if any feature names start to show up. Preliminary map even though not much has happened yet. But if you look closely you will see something, even now. Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.

OK, it did surprise me. We are outside my base map on sol 15, so here is a new map for this drive. That's the problem when you are mapping in real time! Fully prepared to have to switch map bases again tomorrow - that will be back to the first one I posted, most likely.
You may notice that my route is offset a few meters from the one on the interactive map on the mission website - they start a bit too close to the drift behind the rover at landing, and the whole path and each site retains that offset. My site locations are based on hazcam images. Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.
