Suggestions on Mapping and Navigation

I want to build a mapping and navigation robot with simultaneous obstacle avoidance.

So I was wondering, do I have to create the map first and then do the navigation? Or maybe there is a way in which the robot makes a map while navigating?

You can definitely map and navigate at the same time with any of the standard ROS supported SLAM / Navigation stacks. They fill the same map->odom transform and publish to a map topic that Navigation can use to plan within. Just swap out your localizer for your mapper of interest.
