A-3 3-Axis G-sensor Data

This function of 3-axis micro accelerator can measure the changes of x, y, z axes
based on the gravity.
In case the GPS signal quality is poor and this signal loses GPS navigation ability, the
3-axis information combined with E-compass can be used to establish a
complementary azimuth computing system.
