Mapviz
Mapviz is a ROS based visualization tool with a plug-in system similar to RViz focused on visualizing 2D data.

Usage
View the documentation for usage information.
Carto API Key
The Tile Map plugin’s default Carto source requires an API key.
- Sign up or log in at carto.com/basemaps/apikey and create a key. Note there are limits on non-commercial vs. commercial usage.
- In the Tile Map plugin, select
Cartoas the source, paste the key into theCarto API Keyfield and clickSave. - Save the Mapviz config to keep the key; it is stored as
carto_api_key, e.g.
- type: mapviz_plugins/tile_map
config:
carto_api_key: "<your key>"
source: Carto
v4.0.0 Special Note
v4.0.0 introduced several breaking changes.
- Many header files had their extensions changed from
.hto.hppto conform to ROS conventions. - The UI and ROS callbacks were split into separate threads. This significantly impacts the plugin architecture. Please see the documentation for instructions on how to safely apply these changes and for examples of plugins that use the new architecture.

Mapviz
Mapviz is a ROS based visualization tool with a plug-in system similar to RViz focused on visualizing 2D data.

Usage
View the documentation for usage information.
Carto API Key
The Tile Map plugin’s default Carto source requires an API key.
- Sign up or log in at carto.com/basemaps/apikey and create a key. Note there are limits on non-commercial vs. commercial usage.
- In the Tile Map plugin, select
Cartoas the source, paste the key into theCarto API Keyfield and clickSave. - Save the Mapviz config to keep the key; it is stored as
carto_api_key, e.g.
- type: mapviz_plugins/tile_map
config:
carto_api_key: "<your key>"
source: Carto
v4.0.0 Special Note
v4.0.0 introduced several breaking changes.
- Many header files had their extensions changed from
.hto.hppto conform to ROS conventions. - The UI and ROS callbacks were split into separate threads. This significantly impacts the plugin architecture. Please see the documentation for instructions on how to safely apply these changes and for examples of plugins that use the new architecture.
