Navigation in ROS

I would like to check the ability of the turtlebot to navigate from one point to another on a built map using SLAM. I believe these are the sub modules that need to be taken care of:

1. build a map using gmapping or some laser map.

2. Whenever the map is used on the robot, make sure to localize using amcl.

3. Get coordinate of target point on map with respect to map coordinates.  (My last post on ROS should do the job, although I am yet to verify it )

4. Give the coordinates in the form of simple navigation goals following the simple tutorial at ros.

Primitive but necessary work, and in fact, one of the building blocks that will be re-used almost for everything to be built, I guess.
