The Mars Science Laboratory has been on Mars since 2012, and has travelled 20km across the surface, inside Gale crater looking for clues to the history of the region which is well suited to unravelling the history of Mars as a whole. I wanted to use a few different tools to give you an idea of where the rover is, and how it got there.

Or rather I've been messing with this stuff for the last week and really wanted to make a video of the bits and pieces I have.

Here's the official tool showing the map and allowing a few sites to be inspected in 3D
