Hello experts,
My navigation stack produces below messages when tried to run. I have installed the latest version of cturtle.
The same process did run at the time of boxturtle which i was having before.

where map is of willow-garage with 4000 x 4000 in size.
odom
The ROS- odometry tutorial program.
Tried few workarounds which failed:
1. I tried to change my map reducing to small as a blank map.
2. I tried to set frequencies at odom level, amcl level, both the costmaps.
3. Finally i used static transform for <node pkg="tf" type="static_transform_publisher" name="link_broadcast" args="1 0 0 0 0 0 /map /base_link 100" />. this resolves my warnings but completely hangs the process.
4. The "navigation tutorial" also mentions the map as below, but if i give my_map.pgm it does not recognize it and expects .yaml file instead of .pgm
<node name="map_server" pkg="map_server" type="map_server" args="$(find my_map_package)/my_map.pgm my_map_resolution"/>
5. Tried to pass <param name="frame_id" type="str" value="map" /> to parameter server.
6. Changed AMCL to default AMCL node which is inside ROS-stack instead of my own copy.
Considering node sequence "AMCL" is being started before move_base and it also receives the map for the reference. AMCL
Am i missing something? Is it due to larger map size?
Please let me know if anyone has any clue.
With best regards,
