Detailed Description

A plugin that creates a model with textured map images.

Map tiles are downloaded using Google Static Maps API: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/static-maps The map tiles are used as texture images to create a map model in the world.

The plugin requires the following parameters:

Center (latitude and longitude) of map <world_size> Target size of world to cover (in meters). The plugin will fetch enough tiles to create a model that is larger than the specified size. <api_key> Google API keyoptional parameters: <model_name> Name of map model <pose> Pose of map model in the world <zoom> Zoom level from 0 (entire world) to 21+ (streets) <map_type> Type of map to use: roadmap, satellite, terrain, hybrid <tile_size> Size of map tiles in pixels. Max of 640 for standard usage (only standard usage is supported). See Google Static Maps API documentation for more details. <use_cache> Use model in gazebo model path if exists, otherwise recreate the model and save it in <HOME>/.gazebo/models
