I am new to ROS. I am getting GPS data published. I want to use it to plot a map and with start and end coordinates i want to know about the distances and directions. I don't know how to use the package to prove it the GPS data and also how to get the desired route. Please help me.

The osm_cartography package handles map data from Open Street Map.

Is the map you wish to plot there? If so, you can use these packages to plot a map and find a route through it.

I want to visualise the map from OpenStreetMaps on Rviz. For that I have downloaded the .osm file. The file's location is this.
file:///home/pallav/Downloads/map%20(1).osm
How do I use this file for visualisation. I am unable to use viz_osm

Please help!
