Opportunity Route Map Options

[Tesheiner]

Here's another map update, probably the last one at "Benny Hill".
The current position (sol 3257) is virtually the same as during sols 3233-3240.

Going back and forth with Opportunity : I think they are on the verge of making/announcing big discoveries that will compete with those made with Curiosity

I had no time to do a proper update of the route map so here's just a snapshot from the KML version on Google Earth/Mars.
Seems that she will be leaving Cape York quite soon.

Nice work, as always.

This is minor, but there was a jog to the W-NW from the sol 3312 position to image tiny "Duyfken Crater" before continuing south. The metadata was updated some time after the drive, and we still don't have the images, so it's a little obscure.

Thanks Mike. I will take that into account on the next map update.
I was a little bit puzzled by that imaging sequence ("Duyfken Crater") because it was too wide (3x1) and pointing nowhere (basically N). I thought it was taken before starting moving on that sol 3314 but now I realize it was a mid-drive imaging. All's clear.

There was another drive today; four days in a row! Here's the updated map.

We can see on the map that since arrival at Spirit point on sol 2681, the increased net distance from landing has been a mere +150m South in nearly a martian year! (636 sols instead of 686). We're about to improve this a lot in those 50 sols difference

I am so happy for this achievement, after months of (apparently) unuseful loops!
Go Oppy!

And yet another update to the route map, adjusting several past positions (starting on sol 3315) and adding the missing ones up to thisol 3324.

I was in a business travel the whole week and couldn't update the route map in the meantime. But now, here's a fresh one and updated up to sol 3330.

I took some time to extend the map up to our expected destination Solander Point. Here is it, updated with the data from the latest drive on sol 3333 and correcting a few of the previous plots. From now I will usually post just a crop of it, including the whole picture just from time to time.
