How to spawn turtlebot at a defied position instead of origin?

So by default, the turtlebot is spawned at the origin. I have a 5x5 map so how can I spawn turtlebot at say, (2,3)?

Also, I copied the lauch folder from /opt/ros/kinetic/share/turtlebot_gazebo to my package named trial. Then I set the TURTLEBOT_GAZEBO_WORLD_FILE=/home/kacd/catkin_ws/src/trial/worlds/map.world to load the turtlebot to my custom world.

Is there any better way of doing it?

1) Spawn is a service which the turtlebot3 server provides. When you launch the launch file, the spawn service is called with (0,0) as the parameters. IF you wan to spawn the turtle at (x,y) you will have to make changes in the launch file.
