Hello,

When running 'rosrun map_server map_saver -f my_map' to save a map generated by gmapping, the default size of the map appears to be 4000x4000 pixels and the resolution is 0.05 meters. I could have sworn there was a way to change these defaults but now I can't find it. I tried running gmapping with _delta:=0.01 but the map resolution was still 0.05. Can the resolution and map size be changed during map creation?

Thanks!
patrick

gmapping documents xmin, xmax, delta, etc. to set its map size. That should change the size. If it doesn't it's a bug.

Thanks @dornhege. I was able to get the parameters to stick using a launch file around gmapping so perhaps I was just messing up trying to put them on the command line.
