For a more immersive experience, try Explore Mars in 360 with VR before you start mapping.
Meet Perseverance and Ingenuity, in the Explore with Perseverance experience. This NASA website is fully interactive. You can read about mission objectives, download images and location data from Perseverance, and move around a 3D model of Perseverance. Here's a video on how it works. You can visit the actual website on the sidebar.
ArcGIS Online is all you need do the Map Rover Data on Mars activity. The activity is broken into two parts. In part 1a, you just map data from the rovers that are already posted in ArcGIS Online. In part 1b, you download the most recent location data from the NASA website, Where is Perseverance , and map NASA GeoJSON files.
