Abstract
A method of increasing location accuracy in an inertial navigational device ( ) is described herein. The navigational device ( ) generates real-time data to depict its location. The data comprises at least one of sensor data, motion data, and location data. The navigational device ( ) transmits the real-time data to a second device ( ) in a real-time fashion. The navigational device ( ) receives an update message from the second device ( ), based on a comparison of the real-time data generated by the navigational device ( ) against a second set of data. The navigational device ( ) adjusts its depicted location based on the update message in order to increase the location accuracy of the navigational, device ( ). Alternatively, the navigational device ( ), absent the second device ( ), can compare the real-time data generated against the second set of data internally and adjust its depicted location accordingly.
