# Plan View - Rally Points

Rally Points are alternative landing or loiter locations.
They are typically used to provide a safer or more convenient (e.g. closer) destination than the home position in Return/RTL mode.

:::info
Rally Points are only supported by ArduPilot on Rover 3.6 and Copter 3.7 (or higher).
PX4 support is planned in PX4 v1.10 timeframes.
It also requires usage of a Daily build or Stable 3.6 (once available).
_QGroundControl_ will not display the Rally Point options if they are not supported by the connected vehicle.

## Rally Point Usage

To create Rally Points:

1. Navigate to the Plan View
2. Select the _Rally_ radio button above the Mission Command List
3. Click the map wherever you want rally points.
   - An **R** marker is added for each
   - the currently active marker has a different colour (green) and can be edited using the _Rally Point_ panel.
4. Make any rally point active by selecting it on the map:
   - Move the active rally point by either dragging it on the map or editing the position in the panel.
   - Delete the active rally point by selecting the menu option on the _Rally Point_ panel ![Delete Rally Point](../../../assets/plan/rally/rally_points_delete.jpg)

## Upload Rally Points

Rally points are uploaded in the same way as a mission, using **File** in the [Plan tools](../plan_view/plan_view.md).

## Remaining tools

The rest of the tools work exactly as they do while editing a Mission.
