Commanding location seen in new garden visit (7,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

driving seat

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'commanding location seen' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'new garden visit' is the wordplay.
'new' is an anagram indicator.
'garden'+'visit'='gardenvisit'
'gardenvisit' anagrammed gives 'DRIVING SEAT'.

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for driving seat that I've seen before include "Controlling position" , "In which one is in control of a process" .)
