First Autonomous Flight

I have a hexacopter and a quad both built with pixhawk and arducopter. Every thing is dialed in and works very well. (Lovin it). I just worked out my first autonomous mission and had a quick question. I am not at the field currently and it does not have a home set. Am I correct in that if I get to the field, take off somewhere close to waypoint one and put it in auto mode, it will fly to waypoint one and then start the route? Do you see anything else wrong with a quick look at my mission?

Regarding “I am not at the field currently and it does not have a home set,” if your AC receives GPS appropriately, you will be able to see your AC current location.

looks good.

your home location is where you arm the copter.

for planning juts place your home location where you think you will be arming. that way all the stats about distance etc will be correct.
