Frank,
I do not think there is a navigation challenge on Mars. I think it is a surveying challenge. The navigation part ended when InSight landed within 5 k of its target. Now, the challenge is to fix the position more fine and to me that is surveying, not navigation. The lander is not going anywhere.
