Yep; gyro makes course a little more accurate.

Seems like it would be trivial to calculate, from light monitoring, which
direction the car is turning; you still know speed and time, so it seems
like it would be fairly simple to calculate a reasonably accurate course.
And -that- said, why not just use a compass and gyroscope? You've got
initial location, speed, direction, seems like you could figure out
elevation changes. Of course if you always know where you are then the
GPS
is just a check anyway. :)
