Dead-reckoning is a navigation technique where you know where you started, what direction you flew, how fast you flew, and how long you flew. You can then, on a map, trace your position. The inertial navigation system (abbreviated "INS") uses accelerometers to find your velocity and direction, and computers compile in the time and an entered start position to calculate your current position. | Dead-reckoning is a navigation technique where you know where you started, what direction you flew, how fast you flew, and how long you flew.
