Description

When a USB connection is made the Mission Plan read in from the UAS always has Global/rel. selected as the co-ordinate frame even when the commands are takeoff and Land.
As the lat/lon are zero this is drawn on the plan as paths to lat/lon 0/0.
Selecting Mission as the co-ordinate frame fixes this on the display but it cannot be written as it is always retrieved as Global/rel.
Reading in from the UAS shows takeoff and land with Mission co-ordinate system, but quitting APM Planner and restarting, reconnecting shows all reset to Global/rel. co-ordinates.

Research direction

Reproduce the USB read, restart, and reconnect sequence described in the issue, then trace the Mission Plan coordinate-frame handling from UAS import through display and persistence. Done means takeoff and land commands retain Mission coordinates after reconnecting and are no longer drawn toward latitude/longitude 0/0.
