All previous Mars probes could only see the part of Mars directly around them. The Rovers, by moving around, were able to see and investigate much, much more. Do not confuse the Mars rover robots with the Apollo Lunar Rovers which were basically a dune buggy for the astronauts to drive around the Moon. This let them also see and investigate much much more. One lunar rover went over 17 miles!
