[ros-users] problems with nav_view / nav stack

[Eitan Marder-Eppstein]

David,

If any of the transform publishers are on a different machine from one
another... time synchronization between the computers becomes pretty
important. So, running localization on-board the robot is probably a good
idea. When you say that putting everything on the robot lead to some
success, do you mean that things are working, that you were just able to
lower the tolerance a little bit, or something else? You shouldn't need to
run nav_view off the robot... but the navigation stack should probably all
be running on-board for the best results.

Hope all is well,

Eitan
