This map shows the route driven by NASA's Mars rover Curiosity through the 429 Martian day, or sol, of the rover's mission on Mars (October 21, 2013).

Numbering of the dots along the line indicate the sol number of each drive. North is up. From Sol 426 to Sol 429, Curiosity had driven a straight line distance of about 140.42 feet (42.80 meters).

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