Sorry I’m a bit confused. When you say the tutorial link doesn’t work what specifically is not working. What is the error message?

Hi @osilva I mentioned that I followed all the procedures (from installing mapviz to running the bag file) to see GPS waypoints on mapviz, but I cannot see the tagged gps points. It seems there are some other steps to do, but they did not mention them.

It looks like you already raised an issue with the developer: https://github.com/ArghyaChatterjee/g...

The Mapviz settings as per medium article:

Notice that: The sequence of plugins in your panel is vital. Because Mapviz draws its plugins in the order that they are listed in the plugin panel. If navsat is listed first, it will draw that first, and then it will draw the tile_map over that, so you would not be able to see any fixes.

Hope this helps resolves the issue.

In the source code, you can see the node subscribes to three topics I think only /outdoor_waypoint_nav/gps/filtered is relevant:

Source code: https://github.com/ArghyaChatterjee/g...

 //Subscribe to topics
    ros::Subscriber sub_gps_raw = n.subscribe("/navsat/fix", 100, raw_gps_CB);
    ros::Subscriber sub_gps_filtered = n.subscribe("/outdoor_waypoint_nav/gps/filtered", 100, filtered_gps_CB);
        ros::Subscriber sub_joy = n.subscribe("/joy_teleop/joy", 100, joy_CB);

I guess you could do the same publish to this topic.

this code only record and save the GPS/ filtered points:

ROS_INFO("You have collected another waypoint cluster!");
ROS_INFO("Press %s button to collect and store another waypoint.", collect_button_sym.c_str());
ROS_INFO("Press %s button to end waypoint collection.", end_button_sym.c_str());

I donot know why the named this file, ploting GPS points!?

Take a look at this launch file:

https://github.com/ArghyaChatterjee/g...

You also need to work with parameter server send waypoints.
