Gyroscope with integration. Your programmer should be able to do this of he's/she's worth his/her beans. This way you know your angle relitave to the field and sdjust the trig respectively. All i know is triangulation is going to cost me a pretty penny in paper. Also, you can use the gyroscope in conjunction with some accelerometers to have a backup positioning system.
