No. If you're sensible with routing cables, etc., you shouldn't lose power either, so it'll be a once-per-session task.

I use my car GPS (removed and held in hand) for both time and position. I've thoroughly tested the SynScan handset time drift over a 6 hour session, and it was <0.5 seconds (basically dead on within my ability to determine).

I don't see any need for a GPS connected to the mount.

2. Could I use just the one GPS unit to initialise the first handset/mount then once it's done disconnect and use it to initialise the second one ?
Don't know, but if you don't already have a GPS, I'd say get a generic one for car or bush use (whichever you will use more) and just use that.
