Movella's Xsens MTi-8 module delivers centimeter-level accuracy and smooth positioning in a small size

Movella's Xsens MTI-8cm precision GNSS/INS 12.1mm x 12.1mm module has an interface for external real-time motion (RTK) GNSS receivers. The optimized AttitudeEngine performs high speed dead reckoning calculations at 1 kHz to accurately capture high frequency motion. Xsens's superior sensor fusion algorithm enables high accuracy and automatic sensor calibration in a cost-effective module for a wide range of (embedded) applications

The MTi-8 series modules free the user from the design, integration, and maintenance of gyroscopes, accelerometers, and other sensors. It is supported by the MT software suite, which includes MT Manager (a GUI for Windows/Linux), an SDK, sample code, and drivers for many platforms, including ROS.
