What does the home location do?

I'm starting out with an Ardurover, mainly because it can't fly into the ground or just fly away.

I've got a couple of very simple questions that I can't gleen from the manual or forum.

1.  What does the  "HOME LOCATION" actually do?  Is it the "start here point"?

2.  How do  actualy run a mission?  I'm using Xbee telemetry.   I've got my home location and 3 waypoints at the soccer field. 

    Step A.   Put Rover on the ground  and turn it on.

            B.   Establish Xbee conectivity and wait for GPS to align. 

            C.   Now what?

 

Thanks,

Chris
