When making waypoints with the Mini 4 Pro, does it rely solely on GPS or is visual included?

Specifically, I'd like to do a few things.

1) I'd like to go out in the spring and do a waypoint mission. Then again, the same mission in the Summer, then Autumn, then Winter.
Since the scenery will change during the seasons, will the drone be able to fly the exact same path based on GPS alone?

2) I'd like to take some scenery shots of night time but be able to assure the obstacles during the day.
If I were to run a waypoint mission during the day, coming close (but not too close) to "obstacles" will the drone be able to avoid collisions if I run the mission after it's dark? Or does it rely, even somewhat, on visual cues when running a waypoint mission?
 
Waypoint missions are precisely repeatable and consistent, given that the flight path is defined by GPS satellite data processed by the drone as it flies the course.
