Derek,
I think the sensor you need really depends on the application. I believe a
compass would be better for absolute positioning, and a gyro would be better
for relative positioning. I don't really know a lot about gyro's, but I
think that will tell you how much you've turned, but it won't tell you where
you are facing.
From what you suggested, it sounds like you need a compass.
