I tested some quadcopters and all had the behavior to land immediately on connection loss, no matter what is below them. Better not have something like that happening above a pond. So no automatic navigating to a starting point. It has been a few years, maybe that changed.

3D Robotics Solo has that feature (return to launch), but that was 5 years ago now. You could also set it so when the battery started to get too low it would return home as well. But that was one of the most advanced hobby drones in terms of software that existed at the time. DJI now uses it as well. It's all built into ardupilot. http://ardupilot.org/
