QUOTE (Phil Stooke @ Jun 29 2005, 02:44 PM) No, general... they are different troughs. I know it's not obvious, but if you overlay the maps in Photoshop (etc.) or carefully compare the small dark circular poatches you will see it. Phil Thanks,Phil. I got it now all on a map  : http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a250/Moo...PIRIT_524_2.jpg |

Another traverse map at :
http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/spotlight/s..._sol536_MOC.jpg ...and this one has contours. Interestingly, they only seem to have climbed 10m or so between Methuselah and Independence, and they have around 30m of additional elevation to gain between here and the summit[s]. |

I've taken those contours - generated an elevation map - and came up with these...

In looking at those elevation maps, I got the feeling I was playing Railroad Tycoon 3 again, trying to find the best way to the top without getting a track grade in the red

Doug, what's the vertical scale exaggeration in your pictures?

Hugs it well?
 Looks cracking good! Gives a good feeling about the shape of the Hill! I just mull over how you've generated it. Was it necessary to get the contours for it? Are more pictures than the map behind it? One point of criticism, it seems (to me) not "completely" fit all-over. -------------------- |

QUOTE (ilbasso @ Jul 14 2005, 05:41 PM) Doug, what's the vertical scale exaggeration in your pictures? To be honest - I dont know - but with a bit of thinking, I could make it 1x accurate - at the moment I'd imagine it's 5x exagerated. Doug |

Well - I've done EXACTLY the same thing with an aviation map of the cotswolds - I can make a greyscale elevation map using the contours as a basis - basically shade each 'band' of contour a different grey scale - then blur the whole thing to make it smooth Doug |
