There's your problem: why continue to deny simple facts when you're shown them so clearly? Why should anyone ever waste their time to learn you?
> It's filled to the brim with other sensors. It has gyros, accelerometers and magnetometers
I'm guessing you don't realize how small those surface mount components are. Yet you must know your phone also contains them. The first duckduckgo result for a gyroscope was the A3G4250D in an LGA-16 package 4x4x1.1 mm. I didn't look for smaller ;)
Perhaps your employment doesn't have much to do with engineering? Facts are so awkward. I despise them!
> What is (1m)?
I've found AI too be pretty good at answering similar questions - so long as you form your prompts well.

You just completely skipped commenting on clearly visible twin external antenna sockets in gnss-compass version of the unit and didn't correct your wild assumption that smartphone sized brick is all that is needed for this gnss-compass to run. And what's that stuff about size of all other sensors? Everybody knows those don't take any space at all and that every smartphone has them. My point was that having these additional sensors in a unit that boasts inertial navigational capabilities might mean that direction is also mostly innertially tracked since the last time the sensor moved or even mostly faked with magnetometer. I can make better guess what (1m) is than AI. It tells us that this an accurancy is achieved when you put the two external antennas 1 meter apart. Read Wikipedia page on GPS system and try to find any single feature unique to this system (or even just not common to all radio signals) that aids with determining orientation of the reciever (while stationary). You'll find none.
