The phantom records 2 types, home lock and course direction lock. They will both rapidly flash green and one can occur before the other depending on GPS strength.
To be clear, you can set new home positions anywhere. A reset of home position is indicated by the distance changing to 0.0. In Naza mode in mid flight - left toggle, flick from top to mid x 5 (its tricky with firmware 3.06) and you will notice the distance changing to 0.0 - this will be the new home lock/return to home/POI.
If you flick from position mid to lower x 5, this will change the direction of the phantom for course lock. Which ever way its facing fwd will be the new forward direction in course lock.
I have never found the emphasized statement above to be true.
Forward direction, (for Course lock) always occurs first followed by home lock after 6 or more GPS sats. are acquired.
I have seen them occur back-to-back prompting me to re-start to confirm I did in fact see both.
