Abstract:	An introductory section of the paper will briefly review the navigation requirements to support vehicle tracking; this introduction will serve to motivate the sensors selected for the navigation system which is the subject of the paper. This system integrates a low cost gyro with a low cost GPS receiver and an interface to the vehicle’s odometer. Since the gyro is the critical component of the dead reckoning subsystem, the source selection process for the gyro will be briefly reviewed. Following this, a description of the algorithms which were used in integrating the GPS and dead reckoning information will be described. Test experiences with the system in major urban areas will then be presented.
