1. A receiver for tracking of low carrier-to-noise ratio (“

  • CNR”

    ) signals from a plurality of radio navigation satellites while the receiver is mobile, comprising;

    (a) a radio frequency (RF) front-end that provides satellite data corresponding to signals received from the plurality of radio navigation satellites; and

    (b) an inertial measurement unit (MU) that provides inertial data; and

    (c) a processor circuit in circuit communication with the RF front end and the IMU, the processor circuit being capable of using satellite data from the RF front-end and inertial data from the IMU to perform continuous carrier phase tracking of low CNR radio navigation satellite signals having a CNR of about 20 dB-Hz, while the receiver is mobile.
