alan, great to see your route maps back, but I believe Spirit is on its 520 SOL

Nice Maps!
Too bad we don't see daily reports on average slippage. Then we could have some fun correlating that with the current slope and ground texture. |

I think my brains frazzled, I couldnt spot yestersols drive distance, and I cant for the life of me line up nav/pan features with S311 imagery at all

My brain isn't frazzled yet (could still come) But I also dont know where I could Spirit place...
It's heavy because I also dont know where the horizon line from the sol311 pan could run in the bird's eye view maps. -------------------- |

Are we already outside the range of vision (for the sol 311 position)? http://qt.exploratorium.edu/mars/spirit/re...00P1312R0M1.JPG

Have a look at the latest traverse maps for Spirit (http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/tm-spirit/index.html). On the first, most detailed one, Spirit is already past the trough, on the second, she's not yet there. Looks like the position marked on the second map as sol524 is in fact for sol 523

No, general... they are different troughs. I know it's not obvious, but if you overlay the maps in Photoshop (etc.) or carefully compare the small dark circular poatches you will see it.
