You don't need to deal directly with TF topic... Just define point (geometry_msgs/PoseStamped, with x/y/z equal to zero) in robot coordinate system (frame_id="/base_link") and transform it to map coordinate system ("/map"). Then you will get robot position/orientation in map. If you don't know how to transform point, please read some TF tutorials.
