Hector Slam & Autonomous Navigation, Next Steps?

Intro

Hi! I was wondering if someone can help me figure out what are the next steps that I should take in order to achieve autonomous navigation using Hector Slam.

Hardware and Software Detials

Tasks Completed

Next Steps?

I have going around ROS tutorials and ROS Answers and I am confused about where to go from here.

I know that running the Hector Slam "tutorial.launch" file will bring up RVIZ and on there I can send a "2D Nav Goal". I also know I need something else to subscribe to that topic to publish to "/cmd_vel" so that my robot can move. However, I do not know how to do that.

It seems as though, I can either use "movebase" from the Navigation Stack tutorial or use "hectornavigation"/"hectorexplorationplanner".

Can anyone help me and tell me which of the two I should do? Thanks!
