This tutorial shows how to tell the robot to move forward. However, if I want to let this robot move to a certain coordinate on the map what should I do? I tried to minus the target location (hardcore it) with the current location(got from /odom) and send this to navigation stack, but it for reason unknown to me does work well.

Thanks!

This would be easier to answer if you posted your attempted solution (code).

I think sendingSimpleGoals would help, you can add your goals with certain coordiante and send the goal after one is complete

Couldn't you send the certain coordinates of the map to move_base with changing the goal.target_pose.header.frame_id from "base_link" to "map" ?
