Is that the quantum gravity detection thing? Basically a way to map the entire gravitational field of earth giving each 3D space a unique position without the need for GPS?

The specific one I was watching was just talking about dead reckoning based on the same principle, but mapping seems like it could be a natural next step for the tech.

Care to share a link to the video? A way of mapping the world without GPS sounds interesting
