Visualize the GNSS messages by RVIZ plugin, ROS
<p>The team recorded the GNSS messages with <a href="http://wiki.ros.org/novatel_span_driver" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">novatel_span_driver</a> which format is <a href="http://docs.ros.org/jade/api/novatel_msgs/html/msg/INSPVAX.html" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">novatel_msgs/INSPVAX</a>. But rviz_satellite only support <a href="http://docs.ros.org/melodic/api/sensor_msgs/html/msg/NavSatFix.html" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">sensor_msgs/NavSatFix</a></p>
<p>Don’t worry, the wiki of <a href="http://wiki.ros.org/novatel_span_driver" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">novatel_span_driver</a> told they will transform the data into <a href="http://docs.ros.org/melodic/api/sensor_msgs/html/msg/NavSatFix.html" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">sensor_msgs/NavSatFix</a> and then republish them. In this case, We can use the <em>/navsat/fix </em>topic directly.</p>
