I'm not a mathematician, but I think I have sufficiently understood 
Kalman filters and dead reckoning.  A little known trick is to use 
ordinary integration with the strap-down equation given the 
accelerometer and gyro input, and have the Kalman filter model the error 
terms instead of the physical model state space.  This way, you only 
have to update the Kalman filter every time you get a GPS fix, not every 
time you get a measurement from the other sensors.

But... what are our chances GTA03 will have a 3D gyro?
