Hi everyone,
I finally have my diffdrive robot navigating with waypoints using Nav2 and this great tutorial. However, while trying to use a saved map for localization I ran into the following error:
ros2 launch my_bot localization_launch.py use_sim_time:=false
....

I had the following entry in my launch file:
DeclareLaunchArgument(
'map',
default_value=os.path.join(bringup_dir, 'maps', 'chris_room_07012023/chris_room_save.yaml'),
description='Full path to map yaml file to load'),
My map was also in the correct folder and valid output from the slam_toolbox plugin in rviz2. I had also run `colcon build –symlink-install`.
Initially I thought that I’d used the wrong settings in rviz but eventually I realised that the file was missing from the install directory. Despite running colcon build it was not building my new map files.
Luckily, this ended up being a fairly easy fix. I’d simply missed adding the directory to CMakeLists.txt.
# Add maps to the end of the DIRECTORY line.
install(
DIRECTORY config description launch worlds maps
DESTINATION share/${PROJECT_NAME}
)
After updating CMakeLists.txt and re-running colcon build --symlink-install I was finally able to start localization with a default map.
