Here you go... It's a link to his Google Drive. In the folder you'll find a PDF that requires a minor update as it still points to UMSF (now defunked) but Fernando is waiting for UMSF to be resurrected that process is in work, and once done he'll update the PDF user manual. The KMZ file in the folder is the one you open to update the map on Google Earth. The current version reflects the rover's current location. The folder also contains the high resolution map tiles to install inside Google Earth.

You are a gentleman and a scholar, Paul, thank you. Much credit to Fernando Nogal, as well. My PC is having a mid-life crisis, so I haven't been able to look at that orbital map file yet, but this is all inspiring to see. I am very much looking forward to UMSF being reconstituted.
Would you mind if I sent you a DM? I wanted to ask your opinion about writing "guides" of a somewhat similar kind.
A new version of the KMZ file has just been posted by Fernando (you'll find it on his drive), it adds place names and extends the traverse to the new location after the drive on sol 4507. I used to find it better to delete the old traverse folder in GE before installing the new one :)
I had no idea you could send DM's here :) But sure go ahead, I'll help in anyway you can.
