NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover is now performing Sol 2585 tasks.

A newly released map shows the route driven by NASA’s Mars rover Curiosity through the 2582 Martian day, or sol, of the rover’s mission on Mars (November 11, 2019).

Numbering of the dots along the line indicate the sol number of each drive. North is up. The scale bar is 1 kilometer (~0.62 mile).

From Sol 2577 to Sol 2582, Curiosity had driven a straight line distance of about 13.02 feet (3.97 meters), bringing the rover’s total odometry for the mission to 13.24 miles (21.31 kilometers).

The base image from the map is from the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment Camera (HiRISE) in NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter.
