Description

Strangely I have found that if MP connected to Rover running in SITL, even after MP is disconnected the orange "Direct to current WP" line is jumping around. Below are two pictures taken moments apart and we can see the line is jumping between North West and East.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in Mission Planner with ArduPilot running in SITL, then disconnect Mission Planner while observing the orange "Direct to current WP" line. Compare the line's behavior in the connected and disconnected states; done means the line remains stable after the connection is lost.
