First thing I do at a rally site is punch the site in as "rally".
Then I can leave to explore and easily go back.
We have one in the Tow Vehicle and another in the car at home, both
semi-permanently mounted and both connected to start/stop with the
ignition switch. A GPS in the glove compartment is useless - takes
too long to get it going in a pinch.
BTW, anybody not using POI (points of interest) files should read up
on them and try a few out. Yesterday I loaded the Passport America
campgrounds (from the POI factory) and several others into the TV GPS.
Even the GPS units with lifetime map subscriptions included are
getting inexpensive. Our Garmin 1450LMT was recently on sale here for $159.
