Turns out my issue was from still not setting my frames correctly. I made a static transform between gps (the frame_id of my /gps/fix messages) and base link, left the map_frame as map, and set odom_frame and world_frame to odom, now I'm getting reasonable results. My launch file is below in case it might be useful to anyone with similar issues <launch> <node pkg="tf2_ros" type="static_transform_publisher" name="bl_imu" args="0 0 0 0 0 0 1 base_link imu_link"/> <node pkg="tf2_ros" type="static_transform_publisher" name="bl_gps" args="0 0 0 0 0 0 1 base_link gps"/>
