I am looking for a map that includes meridiani and margaritifer sinus with longitude and latitude grids to see the correlation between Oppy and the good old Mars 6 probe but I'm not having any look so thought to leave the challenge here...
Here are the coordinates:

Opportunity:
1.98° N 5.94°W

Mars 6

23.90° S, 19.42° W

Yes...I dreamt about Oppy meeting the old Soviet probe...But they're too far for that... rolleyes.gif

Actually, Opportunity is in the southern hemisphere. According to http://mars.google.com/, her coordinates are 1.95° S, 5.53° W.

It may be easier to go "downstream" to meet Pathfinder, even though it's a bit further. By the way, what's the name of that "river"?
