How to publish on LocalXy using GPScoordinates? #774

Closed xycotyco closed 1 year ago

xycotyco commented 1 year ago

I'm a beginner in ROS and have been struggling on how to make frames in Mapviz on Noetic/20.04.

Instead of using frames for robot_image I resorted to using Markers from visualization_msgs, is there anyway I can write a python file to take GPSData and publish the position of markers in localxy coordinates?

On a tangential note, how would I go about creating frames for the same? A constantly updating frame that follows the GPSCoordinates in the GUI?
