Before revision:  We test the ability of this type of representation to support geometrically consistent spatial tasks , such as interpolating between learned locations , and compare its performance to that of a hand-crafted representation which has, by design, a high degree of geometric consistency . Our comparison of these two models demonstrates thatit is advantageous to include information about the persistence of features as the camera translates (e.g. distant features persist) .
