What is the highest resolution Mars map available, preferably color?

More info needed! MOLA topography? Approximately true surface color and albedo? Both combined? Did you want digital, or a published paper map? Does the projection matter?
Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.

Does the projection matter? Phil Something along the lines of the MGS/MOC or the Mars Express visual camera. Digital, cylindrical projection. MSSS has a very hi-res map in black and white. The MSSS web site says they are working on a color version, and some kind of combined MOC/MOLA, but I think that hasn't happened--at least I couldn't find them there. -------------------- |

That's true, we haven't completed that. Our MRO, MSL and LRO work has cut into the hobby time I used to make the B&W mosaics, and the color mosaics are much more labor-intensive to make. http://www.arcscience.com/face.htm has a colorized Mars map, but it appears to be a commercial product. -------------------- Disclaimer: This post is based on public information only.

I'm curious as to why the gap in the data between 60-65S? something to do with the geometry of the MGS orbit? -------------------- |

The basemap used for the mosaic (a hand mosaic of global map swaths) wasn't useful south of 60S. While the actual Geodesy Campaign data goes down to 65S (it was taken during southern winter so areas south of there were in darkness), the basemap control rendered the area between 60S and 65S too dark to use. And the south polar coverage we took later started at 65S. This could all be reprocessed and fixed, and it's on my list of things to do, but not very close to the top. The gap was fixed for the "Mars Atlas" but that was only produced at 64 pix/deg -- see http://www.msss.com/mars_images/moc/moc_atlas/ -------------------- Disclaimer: This post is based on public information only.
