Gusev Crater is located 14.5 (South) and 175.3 (East)
just south of Mars equator, but what region is Gusev located ?

Here's the realtime approach of Mars Spirit Lander to Mars.
At 2:20 pm,est (0720 GMT) Spirit is approx 460,747 km , which is 286,294 miles.

The Earth/Moon lunar distance is 384,401 km, which = 238,856 miles.

approx 65 degrees F, which is 20 C.

Here's a semi-done Mars Atlas without long/Lat...numbers,so
it hard to pin-point Gusev Crater without those Long/lat..
Does anybody know the region where Spirit is going to land at ?
