The selling point is not in the accuracy of GPS, but the integration of
velocity data from GPS into the position data inferred from the
accelerometer readings. The combination of the two systems creates a far
more accurate result than either system can achieve on its own.
Whether that leads to a better GEEZ system is debatable, but I know I'd
like more accurate maps.
