To start with, I suggest to go over the Jackal tutorials: https://www.clearpathrobotics.com/assets/guides/kinetic/jackal/navigation.html http://www.clearpathrobotics.com/assets/guides/kinetic/ros/ROS%20Navigation%20Basics.html
Clearpath also offers a GPS Navigation package: https://clearpathrobotics.com/gps-waypoint-navigation-package/
Finally for GPS Waypoint navigation I recommend Nick Charron Husky tutorial that can be adapted to Jackal: https://github.com/nickcharron/waypoint_nav.
The outdoor navigation package offers:
gps_waypoint to read the waypoint file, convert waypoints to points in the map frame and then send the goals to move_base
gps_waypoint_continuous1 and gps_waypoint_continuous2 for continuous navigation between waypoints using two seperate controllers
collect_gps_waypoint to allow the user to drive the robot around and collect their own waypoints
calibrate_heading to set the heading of the robot at startup and fix issues with poor magnetometer data
plot_gps_waypoints to save raw data from the GPS for plotting purposes
gps_waypoint_mapping to combine waypoint navigation with Mandala Robotics' 3D mapping software for autonomous 3D mapping
