geometry_msgs::PoseArray poseArray;
int size = poseArray.pose.size();

Hi @bvbdort do you know how to increase the size and spread of amcl particles, I am not being able to trigger the plan module for my Ackermann truck and I believe it is due the fact of particles size. I have already changed the parameters but the size seems to keep the same: AMCL Small particles don't allow Planning
