Open-source ROS 2 LiDAR localization runs 390 m outdoors on handheld Livox MID-360

rsasaki0109 shared lidarlocalizationros2, an open-source 3D LiDAR localization package for ROS 2 that uses a prior pointcloud map (not SLAM).
In testing, a handheld Livox MID-360 maintained localization over 390 m outdoors, including stretches where scans no longer matched the map and a section outside it. The author notes quality open-source implementations in this niche are rare, making the repo a useful reference.
