#MapView ######A map viewer and editor for ROS

###Features:

• View, open, and save ROS maps (OccupancyGrid)

• Add nodes and edges to maps

• Automatically generate PRMs on top of a map

• Create and publish 2D pose estimates and 2D nav goals

• Display robot pose and orientation in real-time (from amcl_pose)

• Integrated with node_traveller to display live route info and status when performing a tour of a map

###Usage:

Use the following command to run the program:

rosrun map_view gui.py

###Notes:

• For ROS Groovy, the default Navigation stack should be replaced by the catkinized version. Otherwise MapView will not be able to access move_base and the program will not run.

• The HELP file contains instructions for using the map editing tools, as well as a list of useful hotkeys
