gmapping requires wheel odometry data to stitch the map at different locations. Without odometry, there is mismatch, drifts, unwanted rotations in the map.

If you do not have or do not want to use wheel/IMU odometry data, you may use "hector mapping" that performs ICP odometry using Laser Scan data. (http://wiki.ros.org/hector_mapping)
