If I'm right the 2 bold lines we're very close to, crosse at 10 km East and 16 Kms South from Eagle, while Spirit's point is close to 11km East and 17 Kms South.

"17,702 km"
Are you sure that wasn't to Deimos? Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.

 Again this measurement issues  The coma separates kms AND meters here in Europe. So I should have written 17702 meters... but I like your reply

QUOTE (climber @ Jul 9 2011, 07:56 AM)  The coma separates kms AND meters here in Europe. That's an interesting way of putting it rather than saying the coma in Europe replaces the decimal point used in the US. But then you would have to write: 17,702 km,m |

Ok thanks. I'll paid more attention next time
Now, I'm still interested in knowing where we are from Eagle.

Here's an overview of the region with a 1000 m grid superimposed. There is always a slight variation between images like these because of relief distortions etc. so this is close to Tesheiner's grid position but not exactly identical. But it allows one to count grid cells quite easily.

I'd said we are both wrong
Can we agree Spirit's point is very close to 17 kms South and 10 km East of Eagle? -------------------- |

I'll be very happy to be put right on this from those with a more scientific background than myself but I think when Climber refers to Europe in this example he is referring to continental Europe rather than including the UK. In Britain, I would hope I could speak for the majority in saying that I would read 17,702 km in the same way it is read in the US rather than the European interpretation. That is to say as nearly 18 thousand kms as opposed to nearly 18 kms. This is not to say which is right, just commenting on how data is interpreted/shown in different ways. Neil |

17.702 (USA+UK) = 17,702 (continental Europe)
It's similar problem as miles vs. kilometers, or short scale (billion = 1 000 000 000 in USA and UK) vs. long scale (billion = 1 000 000 000 000 in most continental European countries). -------------------- |

I remember the preference being 'thousand million' instead of billion.
