Update for sol 2995, retracing tracks to look at a few rocks bypassed earlier.

On July 12th 2012, one month before Curiosity landing, Old friend Eduardo posted this map a few sols after Oppy crossed the 3000 sols mark as will do Cury tomorrow.
I was wondering where we where by then... such a long time ago. Here’s the answer.

It's nice to see that again. And here we are with Curiosity at sol 3000:
The exact path followed on sol 3000 is still conjectural. Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.

Conjecturing again for the path, but Paul's partial panorama gives a good location for sol 3005.

We had a c. 70 m drive on sol 3008, making good progress towards the hills. The position is from Paul's panorama. The JPL map is not updating at the moment so the path is still guessed between stops, but the stops should be pretty good.

Wow, they have locations down to the nanometer...

This is an update to the sol 3005 map with target names and a corrected route. I have changed the update name 'Jarishof' to what it is presumably supposed to be, Jarlshof. That will have to be changed back if the error propagates into the PDS because my map has to match the PDS record.

I spent an enjoyable few hours at the archaeological site Jarlshof, when I was working on Shetland back in the winter of '79 (seems like yesterday). Lovely place but a tad windswept. |

If you have ever wondered what all these maps would look like joined together... here they are. I think you can download it, let me know if it doesn't work (you may have to view it and then save it).
https://www.dropbox.com/s/ytnkfwfdiklpnjh/c...averse.jpg?dl=0 The maps were not designed to be joined like this so the overlaps don't work well but it gives you an idea of the whole traverse. I did this to make sure I had not mislabelled the grid, accounting for the positioning error discussed recently. I think the labels are OK.

Merci! Paul's partial panorama and the Hazcams give me this position for sol 3013.
