It's a couple of years old now, but there is a paper here describing the use of MEMS for inertial navigation.

The basic conclusion seems to be that MEMS are about two orders of magnitude noisier than laser ring gyros etc., and that even with some heavy duty signal processing the best they managed to get was an error of 5m after a minute of being strapped stationary to a test bench.
