Hi guys,

1) How do you guys set your initial pose if the origin of map is [0.000, 0.000, 0.000] ? Simply by estimation or there is a way to let us know the exact point we wanted?

2) Inside this yaml file(map info) there is this resolution, how does the resolution affect as it changes?

The simpler way to assign the initial pose to amcl is through rviz using the button '2D Pose Estimate'; this will publish the position on the /initialpose topic. Note that your fixed frame must be /map.

Maybe I didn't understand well the question... What do you mean?

How do you guys set an initial pose parameters? Simply guess the x y yaw value?

When I used amcl I always have done like this. Consider that even if the initial position is not precise, with amcl your robot can localize properly after moving it a little bit around.
