Show HN: I built A GUI for managing waypoints in large-scale robot navigation (github.com)

1 points by ponta17 ↗ HN
When robot navigation scales from hundreds of meters to several kilometers, managing waypoints as raw numeric values quickly becomes painful and error-prone.

This provides a GUI tool that lets you visually edit waypoints on a map, automatically generate them from start and goal positions, and batch-edit multiple waypoints at once, making medium- to large-scale navigation much easier to manage.

For what kind of robots did you design this? "several kilometers" implies that its not in-doors, but if it's outdoors, then why not just use a regular street-/satellite-map, such as leaflet, where setting points and lines is already built in?
