I'm currently working on an autonomous boat, which we plan to monitor from a ground station via wifi. The boat and the ground station are two different node, each in their own subsystem. In order for the ground station to monitor say the Global Pose of the boat, would the ground station also have a GlobalPoseSensor that updates its data from the boat's GlobalPoseSensor's data? Or would the ground station implement a custom component that kept up to date with all the data on the boat?

Another way of wording the question is what component on the ground station should receive the ReportGlobalPose messages to then allow other (non-JAUS) code to access the up-to-date data?

Thanks,
Patrick

Good question. Most often the ground station component is something generic like a subsystem commander component. It doesn't have to be a GlobalPoseSensor. Really, it can be any component that is convenient to interface to your ground station code.
