How about Rectangle Ridge, for the formation's overhead appearance?

Route map updated up to sol 713.
I've changed the background image to the new cProto picture of the Hills released on Jan 03. It is more detailed but I personally see some drawbacks on its use here. First, bigger resolution means bigger file size or heavier compression. Second, it seems this pic was taken almost at noon because it has much smaller shadows then the previous image. The result is that the "3D effect" which was previously visible has been lost. Anybody can try to identify Miami and Comanche on the new picture; it's HARD, if even possible... Comments are welcome.

I've tried to compare Alan-is-Lost with Tesh-Map
It doesnt look like much, but it really helped me put the local geography into some sort of context. Doug

Doug Outstanding- that's the clearest tie-in between the orbital and rover views that I've seen. Everything is clear now... |

I've sent a polite email to Dr Li ( he of MER Mapping fame, and the head of the dept. that produced those most recent, amazing maps ) and asked if he might be able to release an elevation map or DEM so that I could do some perspective views and animations of the area. If we're lucky, I might be able to do something like the old perspective views I did - http://www.unmannedspaceflight.com/doug_images/elev_1.jpg - but much much MUCH better

But this map does not show where Spirit is in relation to the Columbia Hills  ...just the height of the area....Maybe they should add another map....old ways are sometimes better... -------------------- The scientist does not study nature because it is useful; he studies it because he delights in it, and he delights in it because it is beautiful.

Somewhat close, it is a bi-dimensional map. I am copying it the updated Jan 5 Spirit route map with altitude reference.
 Southwest is of the lowest altitude and the Southeast is of the highest altitude. I think that Home Plate is still out of range in that map, still further south. Rodolfo |
