Description

What does tag `world/magnetic_field` mean?

Normally, the magnetic field vector changes with both position and time. What would this single vector represent? Is it something like rough approximation of the field strength at 0,0,0 pose?

I'd suggest either removing this field, or renaming it, because its meaning is quite unclear.
