Good question.

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? https://transitiverobotics.com/caps/transitive-robotics/maps...

Nice work! I think this could be relevant outdoors as well, especially for robots using locally built maps rather than street maps. One challenge I'd expect, though, is real-time visualization of robot locations in outdoor environments, but if it works, it would be very valuable.
