Orbit, focus on center. Set altitude, radius and speed to your liking. Works like a champ.

In this case where do i set the start position
Should I hover directly over the middle of car then use aircraft position?
Because when I use poi could never quite get it map is always off

Cruise is good and the autoflight logic video tutorial is your best starting point (and flight school)...

Use orbit mode, default min altitude is 7m. You can set a moving opearator if your tabket/phone has gps and you can adjust radius and altitude real time.

There are quite a few excellent videos on their website. They go through setup and usage in detail.

I use WP mode for everything. Even for orbit. Just waypoint nice circle.
Then "SAVE" you can load and size it for any task. You can moved it a hair left or right if the car isn't centered.

I have found cruise mode to be very sluggish with controller inputs. Inside of 50m control was sporadic and caused an incident before I could disengage.
