Revision history [back]

This looks fairly normal to me. Your laser is returning a max range reading, so gmapping is clearing all the way out. This could be a valid reading because of something like a window, or a spurious reading because of something like a very reflective or nonreflective surface, or an object at a very shallow angle to the beam. Multiple views of the same area may help, but if hector mapping works better for you, then use that.
