This map shows the route driven by NASA's Mars rover Curiosity through the 656 Martian day, or sol, of the rover's mission on Mars (June 11, 2014).

Numbering of the dots along the line indicate the sol number of each drive. North is up. From Sol 655 to Sol 656, Curiosity had driven a straight line distance of about 146.70 feet (44.714 meters).

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