I've been doing autonomous robot navigation successfully for some years 
now using location information gathered from wheel encoders and gyros on 
a number of my robots.  I'd be happy to answer any questions you might 
have.  You might start out by looking at the navigation writeups 
associated with my outdoor jBot robot:

Here's a video of that robot navigating through the woods to a waypoint 
500 feet away and returning to within a few inches of the starting point:

The jBot robot has an onboard GPS but that is not used or required for 
these navigation tasks.

best regards,
