Revision history [back]

You definitely should be running the costmap with a static global map for gmapping. If you're using a laser scanner for global navigation, you will get artifacts and potentially false openings/obstacles whenever gmapping decides to relocalize itself.

Depending on your ros distribution (i.e. hydro and layered costmaps), you can also subscribe to updates on the /map topic, which would make it work properly with gmapping.
