Setting Home location

Can someone please clarify how the home position is set on APM?

 

I know on ACM that home is set on Arming motors on the arducopter, but I'm not sure how its done on APM.

 

Also is there a way of initialising the gyros after power on?  On recent releases of ACM its done on arming the motors and can be intialised by holding left rudder zero throttle for a period of time.

 

The reason why I ask this is that with a plan its likely to be powered up in the pits then taken to the runway for take off.

    I normally set my Home Position by clicking "Home Location" in the Planner. This then sets my home position in the pits. i then move the home position to the Centre of the runway by dragging it with the mouse. When you then "Write WP" it sets in the correct waypoint
