And an overview map showing progress so far up the hill. The rover is out of restricted sols and can drive every day now.

Update to sol 4631 - we're finally in that last hollow area near the top of the hill, and it looks like fairly easy going. I was concerned that the summit ridge might be a loose drift.

One more drive to get to the 44 kms mark right? Why not tomorrow for the UNMSF's 12th birthday?

OK, Earthlings, if we just take the drive distance and direction reported by Midnight Planets at face value we should be here:
(EDIT - replaced with an updated map, better positions) Right on the rim. Unfortunately the lack of forward-facing images (as I write this) makes it impossible for me to verify that assertion. But I'll make it anyway. EDIT - I have updated my recent positions using a new map from Larry Crumpler's Field Reports from Mars. That pulls the latest position (still not on his map) down a bit, fitting the new images better. The name 'York' on the previous map was a cut and paste error, now removed.

A small move on sol 4635 to position the arm workspace over a little chunk of rock called Boonville.

A while ago I mentioned in this thread to look out for a big announcement concerning Opportunity route maps. Well, it took longer than I expected but finally I can make that announcement.
I have collected a set of maps following the whole path from Eagle crater to the exit from Endeavour, sols 1 to 4600. Well, not quite the exit, but close to it. These are maps from my Mars Atlas (up to sol 3700) and from new work since then, including maps released here. I have assembled them in an ebook which - as of today - is available from the Kobo store. Just go to www.kobo.com and search for my name and you will find it. It's only maps, apart from a half page introduction. They are best viewed on a tablet, or I suppose a desktop ebook reader. The file is .epub format, which probably can't be read on a Kindle but can on lots of other e-readers. On a tablet the maps can be expanded and scrolled around to follow the path of the rover. No text, no photos, just maps, but I hope it will be a handy guide to the travels of our plucky little rover. And a lot cheaper than my big books. Because the book consists only of images it's quite a big file, so if you want it, be in a place with a good wifi connection! Of course, now the book is out of date again... by a few sols. I will update the file from time to time, once each year or two. If this works out well I will do Spirit and Curiosity as well, and maybe other topics I can draw on from my vast collection of files.
