This one's for those with bandwith and a penchent for data only smile.gif

Great data sets - but I just grab the course.png which shows the path of the vehicle on that days drive - great

NOW - here's the problem - they're not matching up properly...i.e. I've been tracing the route around the edge of Endurance, and Sol 129 I should be right next to tracks from about 20 sols before when the rover headed out the other way. Somewhere, they've got out of line with one another.

Are all sites defined with X, Y and Z being in the same direction - or does a new site define a new set of axis for motion thereafter - and what am I missing to fall short of having these things match up. I don't THINK it's slipage etc - but perhaps it is. I don't know
