Correcting Travel Direction

On a mecanum drive base, is there a way to correct for driving direction? For instance, if I want to go 40 degrees to the left of straight, how can I correct any error? I know encoders would be ideal, but is this possible with an accelerometer?

I could use an integrator on an accelerometer to get velocity, but that's not always very accurate. Any other ideas?
