Revision history [back]

I solved it by creating my own launch file and calling the original launch file and setting the parameter there:

<launch>
    <include file="$(find explore_lite)/launch/explore.launch" />
    <param name="/explore/costmap_topic" value="/rtabmap/grid_map" />
</launch>

This wiki entry under part 6. Parameter overrides gave it in the format I understood and worked.
