36. Rally Point Photo References A rally point such as a weather radar, radio tower, water tank or other prominent feature can be found on most topographical maps and is easily spotted from many angles. Having a rally point accessible from many directions can be a benefit. How can it be a liability? This point also is in an area with immediate access to a major highway in both directions. The photos above are of the same radar from 3 angles. The bottom left is near an industrial park with many exits and a large open parking lot.
