Clarification on RTL function

I am probably being stupid on this, but am I right in thinking that the way RTL works is that when invoked it will return to Home as defined in the Mission Planner?If this is the case then would it not be more useful for RTL to return to the GPS location first recorded for the flight, i.e. the launch point if you wait for GPS lock before taking off?I would appreciate someone explaining how this works. My guess is that perhaps I misunderstanding how Home works in the Mission Planner.Thanks

    Home in the mission planner is only used by HIL sims. Home is overwritten in the field when you have 3D lock and when you arm the copter. re-arming the copter resets home location to the current loc.
