Thread created for posting MSL route maps and map updates.
Comments / suggestions adding value to the route maps are allowed, but discussions regarding the route itself and "future" paths are not. Use the currently active thread for the latter. Eduardo Tesheiner Moderator ----- Here's an updated map of activities near the landing site and the start of a map of the route to Glenelg. I may get one more step added to this before I have to take a break Aug. 31 to Sept 16, and I will resume it after that. Details will be revised as necessary as we go. Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.

Curiosity drove 31.53m on sol 4178. No new target names. The notional route (in blue) is included for route comparison.

The Mission Updates for Sols 4182-4183 has provided the latest target' names. It also talks about the route for the next sols: it is possible to cross the channel on Pinnacle Ridge's south side but the team decided to continue to follow the notional route.

Curiosity drove a little over 25m, of which almost 17m were inside the channel. If it follows it to its "mouth", about 50m away, and provided it is wide enough, it will save 200+m over going around a longer and more wheel-punishing route. Jan's post on another thread clearly shows the channel.
