Thank YOU Glevesque!
Here is the drive on sol 4360, with new target names. Curiosity seems to be rejoining MSAR 10.

I am attaching the "The Martian Way" kml file updated to sol 4362. This file has a few changes implemented:

1. Both Distance grids (1km and 100m) were extended to the south by 4km;
2. The quadrangles grid was similarly extended, by two rows. This covers all the terrain to the end of the first notional route;
3. The several UMSF images used in the KML file were copied, with the author agreement, to a Google drive account and are now used from there. This was necessary due to UMSF's closure.
4. The layout of the sol description was slightly adjusted to better accommodate the images. The result is shown, for Sol 0, in the accompanying image.

As usual, the KML file was copied to my Google drive account (see link below) and I will keep updating the drive and, in addition, posting in the Discord server.

A change log can be found in post #494. UMSF is closing soon.

Curiosity's drive to the southwest on sol 4367 stopped just shy of 21m.

On sol 4369 Curiosity drove to the west by a little over 30 m. It is very close to the 33 Km mark. Less than 5 m, I believe.

Curiosity breezed through the 33km mark with a 25m drive on sol 4371.

Curiosity's Sunday drive to the SW was of almost 37m. Time to see how it compares with the MSAR #10.

On the left lower corner, high up on the butte, there are some polygonal ridges this rover won't be able to see (I suppose) nor investigate...
