Hi, I would suggest you keep the tracking frame as base_link i.e. tracking_frame = "base_link" When you launch the Cartographer node, it just creates the map frame which makes a link to your odom frame. Since you have already odom-->base_link available, it can easily find the transformation from the map to the base_link frame.
