I'm looking for an absolute heading sensor with a resolution of 0.1 degrees. 
Gyration has some with a resolution of 0.2, but that is at the upper limit of 
our application needs. I'd also be interested in hearing any comments about
heading rate sensors. (F.Y.I. The application needs to be able to detect
differing turn radii of a vehicle. We cannot directly instrument the vehicle so
we want to use a heading sensor to infer the turn radius.)

Thanks,
