Hector Slam Generated Map Does Not Appear in RVIZ

edit

Hi,

I am trying to do a Hector Slam using the RPLidar by RoboPeak. I am not using any robot for now. I am using the RPLidar connected to my laptop. In the future I will use it on a UAV. I am using this launching file:

The Rviz opens, but doesn't show anything. On the Global Status there is the error :

"Fixed Frame
Fixed Frame [map] does not exist"

On the terminal keeping showing this message several times:

[ INFO] [1436378389.134631658]: lookupTransform /base_frame to laser timed out. Could not transform laser scan into base_frame.

Please let me know if I need provide more information.

Thank you all in advance

The Hector_mapping output is:

The laser data I can get when I chose ... (more)
