Tower - waypoint speed 0m/s - what does it mean

I am using a 3DR SOLO with Tower app v4.0
When I set the speed of a waypoint to 0m/s what will it do?

Here's what I would like to use it for:
I need my coptor to head to the precise direction of a building located 3km away.
The purpose is to find out if at a certain altitude there is no obstacle between my starting location and the 3km remote location. (A direct line of sight.)

I create a mision with waypoint 1: height x on my present location and waypoint 3: the precise location and height of the building.
I use waypoint 2 to set the speed to 0m/s because the only thing I want is to climb to height x and have Solo heading towards waypoint 3 but not flying to it. Next check visually for obstacles.

Testing this setup at a small distance I found out the speed 0m/s is not 0! The copter flew to waypoint 3. This was not what I expected.
I got the impression 0m/s equals maximum speed. Can someone comment.
