robot_localization estimate 'shoots' off on startup. [closed]

Hi,

I am fusing imu and encoder data to localize using an ekf. When I first run the state estimation node (on a bag) the estimate 'shoots' off and ends up in the x=1E1000; y = 5E100. After this initial _jump_, the estimate resembles my motion rather well but obviously, being x=2000; y=500 localized from the start isn't ideal. I'm using a very similar launch file to the one by Nick Charron here.

It's weird that after the initial jump, there is no instability?

"very similar" is unhelpful. Please fully describe all sensors, locations, and configurations. Include sample messages + the RL config file.

Yeah, full config, and sample input messages would be great. This sounds a lot like a rogue sensor message that is going through at startup.
