Checking RTL / Home coordinates

Is there a way to read the coordinates for the RTL / Home waypoint? Can I send a command via the ttl cable to get the coordinates? I have stabilize and both flybywire options tuned for my easystar. However when testing RTL the plane appears to go into loitter mode. I am using the xbee modules and have the ground station operating. I can see the gps still has a lock, and that the mux changes to RTL on the ground station. However the bearing and dist remain the same as to go too waypoint 1. I currently have no waypoints loaded. I am using ardupilot with the shield, ir sensors, with z sensor, and MTK GPS. I am running ver 2.6. The breadcrum feature is working on the ground station, so I assume the gps setting is working right. It appears the data string is ok.Thanks for this great product.Joe

    When you're watching via the GCS, is the moving map working (ie, does it know where it is?).

    BTW, you should definitely upgrade to 2.7..
