How to use a gps to generate a map

asked 2012-02-17 03:44:59 -0500

This post is a wiki. Anyone with karma >75 is welcome to improve it.

I was wondering, if its possible to use the /odom(obtained from converting lat and longitude from gps) to generate a map.

Am using a Xsens mti_g device. Using cyphy lab ros driver Converted the lat and log using gps_common/utm_odometry_node

Regards, AJ

Were you planning on using any other sensor, or just a map of all the places the GPS went?

I have no idea how accurate the map will be, but you should be able to use the odom readings to get the required transforms needed for mapping.
