I'm interested in the common gps message, too. The messages in here look excellent to me:

sensor to prevent confusion.
This reminds me of a debate we were having in the lab. Should there be a
Pose1D message for the altitude information returned by an altimeter or
should it send a PoseWithCovariance message and use the covariance to
mask out the unused portions.
Also is there a reason the Odometry message does not contain
acceleration information?
Does the navigation stack seem like a reasonable place to put the code
for calculations?
