From navigation package ,I can get the a path to the goal. but the points in the path are very close, I mean it is like: (45.0001 70.0002) , (45.0002 70.0003) ,(45.0003 70.0004) ...
and the distance between those points is very small value.
my question is : how convert this small value distance to real world distance with unit meter?
Thank you.
Which message are listening for from the navigation package? If you are listening for nav_msgs/Path, the coordinates should be in meters. You should be able to get the total distance to the goal by adding up the small distances between the individual points.
In general the coordinates are defined in a particular unit, so if u calculate distance between these points it should be in meters or whatever the unit is..
