So far as I know GPS is GPS whether its domestic or military that's why smart weapons have a + or - 5 meter accuracy.

We (by that i mean the other tallented employees at my place of work - as I'm not in development) can get GPS accuracy down to 10cm.

However accuracy comes at a cost. If i was to look at a low cost solution, I'd grab a Wii controller(gyro and accellerometer) and a low cost consumer GPS receiver (that can be forced to refresh at 5htz), then whip up a software analysis application.

However one of your big problems would be finding out the correct alogrithms to use. And unless you have some accurate equipment to calibrate against I'd say you'd be lucky to get better than 65% accuracy.
