You're welcome.
For all you following the map in its GE version, I'll recommend downloading SFJCody's map extension posted here and covering the area south and west of the current position up to Endeavour, because now that the western path is the selected one, the route path will soon be out of the HiRISE picture featured in GE. Great job, SFJCody! |

Thanks, Tesh, for reminding us to download the map extensions. I grabbed them tonight.
Thanks also, for your efforts, SFJCody. -------------------- ...Tom

That's only a temporary version! I'm hoping to do that at full resolution at some point (with help from James Canvin). New version will also have black set as the transparent colour so you don't see the frame at the edge of the image.
I have to replace a couple of broken sticks of RAM first, though. |

Thanks. I really appreciate your efforts to bring us more of Meridiani in google,
especially since my aging computer never got IAS viewer to behave, and the google folks aren't hinting at any updates... -------------------- 'She drove until the wheels fell off...'

Now that Opportunity is heading west, it's time to update the whole picture in order to include new ground to the left, and since we are almost leaving the coverage of the HiRISE picture I was using on the map (PSP_009141_1780) it was the moment to add another one as background (ESP_011765_1780). The map is becoming really big --this version is 3000x5000 pixels and "weights" 1.3MB-- so I will probably post the whole picture not so often and only under certain circumstances like when adding another "square" to the map.
Here it is, updated up to sol 1946. Route_Map_Sol1946.kml ( 24.01K ) Number of downloads: 443 |

Thx for the update... but my question...
is if we were nearing BI on Sol 1457 like on the map we should have been to Endeavour by now right |

Oooops! Thanks for the heads up... corrected now.
I think it's due to the summer vacations which are right at the corner. It may be affecting my skills. |

I took the liberty for updating the route map for the Sol 1963.
I think it's good, but it needs confirmations.
