Hello and thank you for your notes

One more question. What topic should I use if I want to use the RTABmap generated map instead of publishing the saved map using map_server.

The confusion I am facing is caused because of the strategy I am trying to follow. I was trying to use the same autonomous navigation method used by turtlebot3. This is why I am converting the RTABmap generated database into a 2D (.yaml) map using map_saver. Am I defeating the purpose of RTABmap by doing this (converting 3D map and 3D point cloud into a 2D map and laserscans) ? Is there any other way to accomplish autonomous navigation of the robot? maybe directly using the 3D map and the depth cameras point cloud?
