Revision history [back]

You can look into using the pose_follower package which does exactly what your asking for. It is however long outdated on the ROS Wiki page for that package, so i recommend that you look into this repo as those guys have been adding to the pose_follower package and it worked on indigo for me.

You will need to change your navigation parameters to load pose_follower as a local planner as opposed to base_local_planner
