Revision history [back]

I see the odometry node publishing base_link which presumably has /odom as the parent. What you need is the transform from /odom -> /map to be published. That is usually published by a localization node, either gmapping or amcl. To get things running without localization you can change your global_costmap to work in /odom instead of /map.
