You may like to download these updated versions. I revised the end position on sol 2020 with the help of nav/pancam mosaics and also added the leg around Intrepid.

Are the latest images from the 2424 position or have we moved again? (Tweets about future actions, new images and map updates - I'm losing track of the sequence of events.)

[Tesheiner]

Moved on sol 2427 but this terrain is so featureless that I'm having a hard time trying to locate the current position without "telemetry" from the rover itself.

[ngunn]

OK, thanks - for that, and for everything you do.

Here's my guess of the 2427 location based on the navcams and pancams. There's a group of small features (craters?) directly west that are visible in the navcams, as well as the end of a linear feature. Also the line of sight to the next two mid-sized craters to the west is correct. Finally, the circled bit of bedrock is visible in the middle-left of this navcam.

[Tesheiner]

Right on the money, Fredk!
I got the same result today but only after checking again for an update of the rover's mobility data (85m East) so I had an idea of where to look around. Here's and animated GIF from the tool (Photoshop like) I use for this purpose.


And here's a crop of the updated route map and the corresponding KML file. Sol 2427.

Great that you post these 'whole pictures'! Really really appreciated by people like me who get busy and may not be able to check things out for a couple of weeks or so.
