Inertial Navigation and Robot Turning

Its my understanding that an inertial navigation systems basically use two accellerometers to judge the robots realative position by integrating twice. What I don't understand is how the system deals with turning. If the robot turns, all further readings would be off. Is another sensor (compass?) required? Am I missing something obvious?
