+		<!-- REP-105 (http://www.ros.org/reps/rep-0105.html) specifies three principal coordinate frames: map,
+		   odom, and base_link. base_link is the coordinate frame that is affixed to the robot. The robot's
+		   position in the odom frame will drift over time, but is accurate in the short term and should be
+		   continuous. The odom frame is therefore the best frame for executing local motion plans. The map
+		   frame, like the odom frame, is a world-fixed coordinate frame, and while it contains the most
+		   globally accurate position estimate for your robot, it is subject to discrete jumps, e.g., due to
+		   the fusion of GPS data. Here is how to use the following settings:
+		     1. Set the map_frame, odom_frame, and base_link frames to the appropriate frame names for your system.
+			  * If your system does not have a map_frame, just remove it, and make sure "world_frame" is set
+			    to the value of odom_frame.
+		     2. If you are fusing continuous position data such as wheel encoder odometry, visual odometry, or IMU data,
+			set "world_frame" to your odom_frame value. This is the default behavior for robot_localization's state
+			estimation nodes.
+		     3. If you are fusing global absolute position data that is subject to discrete jumps (e.g., GPS or position
+			updates from landmark observations) then:
+			  3a. Set your "world_frame" to your map_frame value
+			  3b. MAKE SURE something else is generating the odom->base_link transform. Note that this can even be
+			      another instance of robot_localization! However, that instance should *not* fuse the global data. -->

+		   The order of the values is x, y, z, roll, pitch, yaw, vx, vy, vz, vroll, vpitch, vyaw, ax, ay, az. Note that not some
+		   message types lack certain variables. For example, a TwistWithCovarianceStamped message has no pose information, so

+		   parameter to true. When differential mode is enabled, all absolute pose data is converted to velocity data by

+		   no effect.
+
+		   Users should take care when setting this to true for orientation variables: if you have only one source of
+		   absolute orientation data, you should not set the differential parameter to true. This is due to the fact that
+		   integration of velocities leads to slowly increasing error in the absolute (pose) variable. For position variables,
