Opportunity drove again on sol 4456, so time for a map update. My new feature names might need to be moved a bit.

This update to sol 4459 includes a correction to the recent path and name positions. I usually base initial drive paths on the maps tweeted by Mike Seibert (https://twitter.com/mikeseibert) but these are not corrected for wheel slip or other issues. Later I can fix a location using the local panorama or from mapping at the MER website by Tim Parker of JPL. The drive on sol 4453 must have had a lot of slip on this steep slope, so its end location needed a substantial correction.

A little move south on sol 4475 (while Curiosity stubbed its toe and stayed put). I am preparing a close-up map of this area.

To repurpose a good old Canadian saying, this looks like 'the beginning of the long dash' to the south. A 45 m or so drive across the valley floor towards the exit point on the ridge. Time for a new base map. (EDIT - I have replaced my guessed path with one from Mike Seibert's tweet, but modified a bit to fit my estimated position)

Time for a new map base as we set out on a new adventure. And looking at the route ahead in HiRISE images, this is indeed going to be an adventure.
I should say the recent positions are only estimates, and there may be changes later. Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.

We had a move on sol 4491. I'm a bit lost without Midnight Planets updating at the moment but JPL has images and Mike Seibert tweeted a map.

Another drive on sol 4493. I have to figure out what a new base map needs to look like now. We could use a road map!

Still trying to choose a new base map, so here is a temporary version of the new map, with a 40+ m drive on sol 4495. This summary map shows that we spent just about 400 sols in Marathon Valley, and the total area covered by the long looping path is not much bigger than a 100 m square on the map. For comparison, Spirit spent its last 1200 or so sols in an area around Home Plate which was about the same size as this work area in Marathon Valley.
