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.

sol 33 update: The flight zone is 30m wide in this map. So nice. Thank you! How did you place the tracks? Visual references or are they just parallel to the path? |

How did you place the tracks? Visual references or are they just parallel to the path? Glad that it is useful. Making the maps helped me understand the area better. The simulated tracks are just parallel to the traverse path from the geojson data, with an offset to indicate the 2.7m width of the rover. I think the plotted track marks are 40cm wide. I could not figure out if the cited 2.7m width refers to just the body of rover, or if it includes the wheels sticking out on the sides. I am using QGIS which makes makes it possible to do all that pretty quickly and accurately. It would be nice to simulate the rotational turns but I am not sure if there is enough data available (other than the imagery) and also do not have an idea how at this point. -------------------- --
