Perseverance Route Map Options

If anyone knows of maps for the possible routes for the next couple of years, could they post or repost it/them.

This map looks a little bit ahead:

Beyond this there may be been a posting of a document (was it from Phil) that had prospects farther in the mission outside Jezero.

Here is long term plan from Gupta 2020, that was circulating short time after the landing.
Now sure how current it is, but I guess it still gives us general idea what to expect.

Thank you scalbers and kymani76. The trip should be exciting as the path ahead looks quite challenging.

Sol 1019 map update.

Sol 1021 map update. Curious coincidence has arisen, we have a triple crossing of paths,
EDL flight track, rover traverse, heli ground track all converge near to the present location.
Also insulation (?) debris noted on sol 1018 are right on EDL track, so no surprise here.

Inspired by beautiful image of the Neretva Valley, that tau posted here, I made 3D render of the sol 1021 position.
If you look closely you can see planned traverse (in yellow), climbing the hillside on the left.

All versions of out of crater routes in one map (some clearly out of date).

Thank kymani76. It is great to see paths that have been proposed. Is it possible for you provide a key and which is the most recent or likely.

[kymani76]

Thank you for your interest. The routes are labeled. The newest one is the yellow route from image release PIA25244 already discussed above.

Sol 1041 map update, first move after nearly 3 weeks. No new info for heli's flights 71 & 72, but it should not be far from #70 position shown here.

Sol 1042 map update. Perseverance drives on.

[kymani76]

Final flight map + sol 1043 update. Perseverance navigating a ridge.

Sol 1046 map update. Perseverance drove into Yellowstone quadrant. According to latest mission update it's headed towards Beehive Geyser area (position on map provisional).
Same report also mentions some new names for the targets.
