A small list of IMU / INS / INU

I've collected some information about small IMU (Inertial Measurement Units) and INS (Inertial Navigation System, aka Inertial Navigation Unit or INU) for my research and I think this might be of interest to others. All devices weight less than 500gr, although a few devices are over that limit for comparison purposes. The information provided is minimal (only the presence of gyros, accelerometers and GPS is mentioned) but the manufacturers link is the most important...

As with the other hardware lists that I maintain, I welcome readers and manufacturer's additions, comments and updates. As you can imagine I don't have the time to google the web every week to keep the page up-to-date.
