Solar system simulator shows an encouter under 500,000 km on June 6. Will there be a good view of the south pole on this pass?

I really think many of these issues would be easier to resolve if we could get RADAR imaging of some of these areas, especially the polar regions and the area of the "smile". And, of course, the Huygens landing site.

Is there any source that can give us an idea of the planned RADAR coverage areas on Titan during the primary mission? I know it's impossible to say what might be engineered for the extended mission(s), but can anyone tell us what parts of Titan will definitely be RADAR-imaged?
