Can Gazebo support .kml or other visual map file?
KML is a file format used to display geographic data in an Earth browser such as Google Earth. My question is that,I want to fly ardupilot in visual world, and I 'd like to simulate it in gazebo,however, I can not find out a 3d visual world map file. Would you mind to share your experience about how to load visual world in gazebo with me? Thank you!
I just finished writing a Gazebo Plugin for importing .kml files. It's very basic and at the moment it actually suits my needs. I would be willing to put it up as an open source project, if there are willing potential contributors around, such that it can be expanded in capabilities. For example, I only work with place markers, but I'd also like to have it render extruded polygons that were defined in the KML. Let me know if interested Cheers Galto
