I used Jan's panorama for sol 1877 to update my location map, so here it is.

[Phil Stooke]

The Hazcams suggest to me a drive of 10 m south (approximately). EDIT: Later the full panorama showed me I was wrong. Here is an updated map.

Phil

[Phil Stooke]

Sol 1889 - a drive to the SSE. This is roughly right but may be edited later.

I have slightly modified the last few locations and routes to match the JPL map updates, and I also show what I think is our sol 1891 position, based on reprojected Hazcam images. I don't know if we moved east and then south, or southeast and then east, to get around a nearby depression, so I am not showing the route yet. I will update this later.

EDIT: Oops, I went too far. EDIT 2: Map has now been corrected.

Update to sol 1891.

Update to sol 1891.

Thanks Fernando, getting ever closer to the edge of the Kuruman quad

[nogal]

Thanks Paul. Curiosity drove about 19.2m on sol 1894 and is just a little over 7m from Kuruman's edge. She hasn't exactly been following the notional route (but I guess that is why they call it notional) according to which the down ramp to the next terrain type is about 260m away (in a straight line)...

Map update to sol 1894. I will do an overview soon showing the previously suggested paths as well as our actual route.

Damia's latest panorama shows us inside the dark-floored depression, as shown on this map.

This update to sol 1899 includes the data from the PDS Release 16, comprehending:
- Path data for sols 1 to 1781,
- Analyst's Notebook data for sols 1 through 1772.
Other changes and updates:
- New TORRIDON quadrant.
- I have thoroughly reviewed the path, to adjust for new data.
- The URLs for the MSL Raw images pages and Analysts Notebook entries were changed in accordance with changes made on those sites ^(*).

(*) Google Mars' links have not been similarly updated and no longer function correctly.

Curiosity continues to climb Mt. Sharp. It is now more than 330m (~1100 ft) above Yellowknife Bay, the lowest point in its route (thanks Paolo!). This is only a rough sketch, the elevation profile's alignment with the route is poor, but I hope it conveys the idea.

We had a drive of 25-30 m roughly, to the south and a bit east, on sol 1901.

... and a wider context map.

A short jog to the west on sol 1903.
