Spirit's HiRISE 3D Flyover Options

In the other flyover, we soar across the cratered plains that the Spirit rover spent months trekking across, eventually floating by the rugged Columbia hills, where the rover is currently wandering.

Nice to see; still, I was a bit disappointed that they exagerated the vertical relief. Also it's hard to identify very much - a flight over more of Spirit's route would've been cool.

Oppy's flyover is near perfect!

I'm with you on the v.e. Fred. I was disappointed, as it seemed hardly necessary. It looks as if they were trying to showcase the craters captured in the elevation data rather than the main topography - the hills.

Still, it was a fun view -- a view that only whets my appitite for eventually getting my hands on the raw elevation data .
