move_base_gmapping_5cm.launch does generate a map dynamically while being run. Only Stage (the simulator) has access to a priori map data.

If you want to generate a SLAM map of your own environment, take a look at the slam_gmapping tutorials.

move_base_gmapping_5cm.launch does generate a map dynamically while being run. Only Stage (the simulator) has access to a priori map data.

There isn't a way to feed a dynamically generated map into Stage online. If you think about it, this makes sense: the simulator needs to know what's in the world to simulate the robot's sensor data.

If you want to generate a SLAM map of your own environment, take a look at the slam_gmapping tutorials.. You could then use that map in a Stage .world file to simulate a robot in your environment.
