Hi!

I've builded an ekf map-based localization but the graphic interface is using matplotlib. Now I want to change to rviz so everithing will be ROS based. My problem is with the map. I can not find how to create a map. I've been trying by looking to gmapping and everithing but it has been impossible to me.

Can you help to solve this problem of how to solve the map message or whatever it is that represents a map in ros?

Thank you.

I assume you have a feature/landmark based map if you're using classic EKF-based localization? In that case, the OccupancyGrid message format used by gmapping and other occupancy grid mapping approaches probably doesn't make much sense. The easiest option is to publish your feature/landmark locations using Marker messages.
