Hiker's Maps of Mars Created

http://space.com/scienceastronomy/070213_mars_maps.html

Thanks to scientists at the European Space Agency, the first humans to walk on Mars will have detailed maps of the terrain that will enable them to know exactly what kind of terrain to expect. Development and production of these maps are in their early stages but scientists plan on creating a full scale map of the Martain surface which would mean more than 10,000 maps of equal area. In order to take advantage of this creation, it would be in NASA's best interest to maintain a strong relationship with the European Space Agency.
