This map shows the route driven by NASA's Mars rover Curiosity through the 456 Martian day, or sol, of the rover's mission on Mars (November 17, 2013).

Numbering of the dots along the line indicate the sol number of each drive. North is up. From Sol 454 to Sol 456, Curiosity had driven a straight line distance of about 201.08 feet (61.29 meters).

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