I believe this is specific to Follow Me, based on the following logic:
1. Follow Me requires the Home Point to be dynamically updated, i.e. every second (?)
2. POI does not - you fly to where you want the POI is (regardless of Home Point), mark the POI as the center of the flight circle, set radius, etc - this uses the GPS on the aircraft and isn't dynamic
3. Home Lock uses the Home Point. The P3P does not have Dynamic Home Point, so it will always use the launch coordinates as the Home Point. This might be different for the Inspire 1 as the Inspire 1 supports Dynamic Home Points
4. Course Lock doesn't use GPS. It uses compass to establish bearing.
5. Zip Line probably uses the GPS on the aircraft - fly to and mark point 1, then fly to point 2 and mark, then execute
I could be wrong, but this is my understanding of how the IOC functions work, and why they work that way.
