Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. ROS1 support ends in May 2025. So for us it's time to migrate to ROS2.

Describe the solution you'd like A ROS2 driver for the Novatel gps systems.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Additional context All our new robots will be developed ROS2 only. So if one would require GPS, this would be a blocking issue.

Hi @Timple we are currently developing ROS2 support, expected Q3 2021 release.

Even though I commented in the other issue I did not realize it was the same repository. Apologies for the duplicate, tracking in #2

ROS2 Alpha is available in the ros2-dev branch now.
