No Cartographer plugin for RViz2

[rotu]

Cartographer_ros has a plugin to visualize submaps in RViz, but it's not compatible with ROS2. Some changes are needed for the ROS2 API and the changes in RViz.

I have attempted this port, but I don't have the knowledge to finish it.

Cool, thanks for starting that! Hopefully someone has some time to pick it up and finish it.

Hi,
I am curious where you got stuck? I am trying to do something similar with the grid_map library. The plugin shows in rviz2, but once added I get the following error:

Error: MultiLibraryClassLoader: Could not create class of type grid_map_rviz::GridMapDisplay

I am wondering if this is something stupid which I am overlooking or that you might stumbled on a similar problem?
