Problem with the GPS data

[shehroze37-zz]

Hi I am trying to get the GPS data from the parrot.Previously I was using ardrone on Ubuntu 14.04 with ROS indigo and because GPS was only supported in the hydro branch, I installed hydro on UBUNtu 12.04 but it still says that topic ardrone/navdata_gps has not been published yet ??

In the GPS branch I could not get ardrone autonomy using the following command apt-get install ros-hydro-ardrone_autonomy so instead I usedapt-get install ros-hydro-ardrone-autonomy. The error generated was that package ros-hydro-ardrone_autonomy cant be found

Whats going wrong here?
Is there any way I could get GPS on Ubuntu 14.04 with ROS indigo ??

I have spent so much time on this and would really appreciate any help

Thanks

I'm also interested in GPS support when running under Indigo. I would really appriciate if GPS support became available. Even with bugs, I can fiddle with the bugs.

Anyway, thanks for this package :)

For GPS support you need to compile the gps-waypoint branch of the driver from source. More infromation:
