Re: Power sockets turn off delay
Most dashcams and GPS units have a battery fitted internally, so it won't be the car supplying power for the minute after you switch off, but the unit itself.
Manufacturers do this to enable electronic units to stay powered in the case of a power supply glitch, and in the case of daschcams, to continue to record for the minute after you depart the car.
To prove this, after they're powered up and running, simply remove the dashcam and/or GPS from the lighter socket, and see how long each takes to power down.
