From the docs, my understanding is that if I specify Lat=Lon=0 for LOITER_TO_ALT, the plane should start orbiting where it is. But it seems that Mission Planner wants to send me to the actual 0N0W in the middle of the East Atlantic. Is it a display issue or am I misunderstanding the documentation?
Begin loiter at the specified Latitude and Longitude. If Lat=Lon=0, then loiter at the current position.
It is just a display anomaly in MP, the plane will loiter at the actual coordinates.
what version of MP are you using
Here’s the same flight plan, zoomed out to show version 1.3.74.
Here’s the mission file:

There’s another place where this apparently happens. When I go to review a log from this flight[1], I get a map that includes 0N0W:

its already fixed in beta MP. i might need to do a new release soon
