Mobile Mapping
An Inertial Navigation System (INS) fuses inertial data (acceleration and turn rates) with GNSS to compute enhanced orientation and position. It allows precise data geo-referencing even when GNSS disturbances or outages occur, and compensates inaccuracies due to the vehicle motion.
The INS also provides time-stamping, and synchronise various mobile mapping instruments like cameras and LiDARs.

Tips
Odometer helps maintaining the position in challenging areas (urban canyons, etc.)
Take the best from every sensor! By adding an odometer to your INS solution, you improve the trajectory robustness in GNSS-denied environments such as urban canyons, forests, tunnels.
Faster initialization and higher performance under low dynamics
Please note that 1 antenna is good enough for accurate heading in land applications while 2 antennas GNSS receiver will provide a more precise heading when the vehicle is in slow motion, and a faster initialization.
All-in-one INS/GNSS solution saves ports and makes your life easier
If you choose a model with integrated GNSS receiver (a N or a D model), you can connect and synchronize to several equipment (LiDAR, Camera, Computer, etc.)
