Without digging in too much, my guess is that rviz is launched after the bridge and the bridge doesn't support latching (or transient local durability for ROS 2), see: https://github.com/ros2/navigation/issues/3#issuecomment-286284274 The right fix is to support latching in the `ros1_bridge`, but there was some discussion on how to best support that and it was never resolved. The other option would be to modift tf2 in ROS 2 to publish `/tf_static` periodically. --- [Visit Topic](https://discourse.ros.org/t/ros1-bridge-failed-to-pass-tf-static-message-when-subscribed-from-rviz/3863/2) or reply to this email to respond.
