I'm curious about what started your train of thought.....
I understand you're referring to "INS" as "Inertial Navigation System".
Even a "near-perfect" INS isn't perfect, because of drift and error issues, and is usually updated from other sources, like DME fixes in the olden days, or now GPS.

syseng68k, You're right, there is a lot of low-cost sensor 'stuff' around nowadays.
Thanks for the hint, I should really start to get familiar with all that 'stuff', and see if I can come up with new ideas to use it. I'll dig into your links.
