You should be able to make cheaper receivers work, but that'll require you to solve the GPS solution yourself from the raw pseudoranges, and spend a lot of work getting the accuracy up.

Another method I've heard used is to point a camera at the ceiling and use identifiable features on the ceiling to localize. QR codes on the ceiling would make that even easier.
This is for outside. Is there a similar method for outdoor use? I know how it would/should work, but actually making this work is what is throwing me through a loop.
