For what kind of robots did you design this? "several kilometers" implies that its not in-doors, but if it's outdoors, then why not just use a regular street-/satellite-map, such as leaflet, where setting points and lines is already built in?
You're right that Leaflet is great for GPS, but this tool is specifically for robots using SLAM-generated occupancy grids in a local coordinate frame. Even for long-distance navigation, many autonomous systems prefer these maps for higher precision and better integration with their local planners.
Interesting, I didn't know that! We've built this map display module but always thought of it as something only relevant for indoor robots. Do you think this might be relevant for outdoor as well then?
