I remember reading an article a few months ago (I guess here) about a precursor to GPS based navigation for cars that used inertial guidance. You needed to set the location when you started driving, but after that it just used inertial guidance to figure out your position.

I really wish smartphone navigation apps would use this, as I've ended up taking the wrong directions in tunnels or at the exits of tunnels (as it takes a few seconds to get a GPS fix).
