I am having some problems with GMapping still. This is what troubles me:

As is visible, the score isn't terrible and it is updating the robot's position. What is causing it from updating the map? I don't understand why I'm not getting an updated map as it runs.

hello i think that your gmapping launch file has something like that

<param name="map_update_interval" value="30.0"/>

you may decrease your value, then map update will be quicker like setting it to 3.0 or 5.0. but when you do that you may get more errors ( black dots where they don't belong in the map )

No... Unfortunately, that's not it. The map isn't updating at all. I see it update once (first scan), but not again after. I set that interval to 1.0.

did you try to change linearUpdate and angularUpdate parameters

Yes. They are both set to 0.1

is there another stuff that may help us to determine what is going wrong ? warnings or something else such as your launch files etc..

No launch file. It's running with simulated data. No warnings.
