Publish a version of map_nav that can be used with Tangobot
Some applications in rosjava/android are available to visualize the robot in a map and send goal poses. map_nav is a good candidate, but it is outdated, and depends on packages that are outdated too in ROS kinetic.
A detailed description of the problems that the application currently has can be found here.
We should discuss and decide if it is worth the effort to get this application refurbished, or if there is a better solution for the problem.
Update: check out map_viewer, an application could be built on top of that. Applications previously used by Ekumen didn't use actionlib, and the code is not available.
we'll use map_nav
One thing to note is that because currently tango_ros_node doesn't allow configuring topic names (remapping) or frame names, we will need to use a fork of map_nav that uses the particular configuration of the Tangobot to go along with it.
