[ros-users] Navigation stack not working

[Eitan Marder-Eppstein]

Prasad,

Sorry for joining the discussion a bit late.

A couple of things:

1) The voxel grid tracks unknown space, but its not published in the
visualization of the grid. It was just too many cells to render. If you want
to see the 2D projection of unknown space in the voxel grid, you can
subscribe to the unknown_space topic of the relevant costmap.

2) Publishing visualization information from very large maps can slow the
system down. As Eric suggested, setting publish_frequency to 0 for the
global_costmap should help things.

3) Changing the update_frequency from 5.0Hz to 8.0Hz actually makes the map
update more frequently so I'm not sure why this resolved anything for you.

4) For large maps, on some machines, I can see it taking some time for AMCL
to start up. Do the errors your experiencing go away consistently after AMCL
is successfully up and running?

Hope all is well,

Eitan
