save a map in ROS

Question

I'm using ros indigo. When I am doing mapping then save it by:

map_server map_server -f 'location'

It gives me a warning that ...

Using deprecated map server interface. Please switch to a new interface.

and error that

map_server could not open -f

what can I do?

`-f` argument is for `map_saver` node, not in `map_server` node. — Benyamin Jafari, Dec 03 '18 at 06:53

map_saver, not map_server :)

$ rosrun map_server map_saver -f 'file'

map_server from map_server package does not have -f argument.

I think you are mistaking it for map_saver which has -f argument.

you can check out it's wiki page here on ROS Wiki
