Stdr GUI - clearing the map to load a new one

[pitosalas]

When running stdr, all I could find were launchers which launched the server + the Gui + a specific (or no) map:http://wiki.ros.org/stdr_launchers?distro=kinetic

In the GUI there are commands for loading a different map, but they don't seem to work at all. In other words, I have the maze like map in the right, I ask to load another map, the command completes without error, and yet the maze doesn't change.

I saw a video that seemed to show the map being cleared, after which a new map was loaded. But I can't figure out how to get the map to clear.

1. rosrun stdr_gui stdr_gui_node - Opens GUI
2. roslaunch stdr_launchers server_no_map.launch - Runs server. Now you can load any map you want.
