Hi,

Is it possible to run ROS navigation without amcl or any kind of localization? I still want to a static map that I built using gmapping, just don't want any localization.

Would that mean I should publish a zero transform from /map to /odom? My tree earlier was map -> odom -> base_link and amcl used to publish the transform from map to odom. EDIT: I did the above but I am unable to set the initial pose of the robot in the map using rviz.

Thank you.

The solution was quite simple. You cannot set the initialpose using rviz since odom and map are the same now. So I reflected the initialpose into the static transform that I am publishing from map to odom.
