I'm working through the http://www.ros.org/wiki/navigation/Tu... tutorial. I have the code running so it is publishing odometry info. I have also done the URDF_tutorial so I have a model of my robot that I can see in Rviz. If I run both of these at the same time should I see the robot running around in circles in Rviz? Is it not that simple or does Rviz not work that way?

If you are publishing the transformation between your robot and the odometry, yes. So if your robot has the base called /base_link, your odometry should publish from /odom to /base_link and of course broadcast this transformation in tf.

THanks, I got it . The trick was to change the Fixed Frame to odom, then it started moving.
