<p>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:</p>

<p>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:<br>

<p>The jBot robot has an onboard GPS but that is not used or
required for these navigation tasks.</p>
<p>best regards,</p>
