Setting latitude/longitude position when using GPS plugin

I am trying to use the gps plugin in connection with some ros2 simulation, the demo world works fine but the object starts at latitude/longitude (0,0).

I haven't been able to find a way to set the initial position, is this possible? I'd like to use the gazebo plugin over something custom, but lacking this basic feature is a show-stopper.

Note: Using ubuntu 20, gazebo11, and ros foxy.

Try adding the tags <latitude_deg>, <longitude_deg>, and <elevation> in the <spherical_coordinates>. This will be the coordinate of your origin point.
