Take this years game for instance, all sort of disorientation would occur when you cross the bump. So by having a absolute reference, you could re-initialize your position based on that reference. At that point you could switch to a sensor-driven localization similar to what your suggesting.

It kind of like zeroing a gyro based on a compass when you suspect drift.
