I don't /really/ know, but isn't one reading from the accelerometer
and the other from GPS? The answer depends, I think, on the distance
over which you want to operate. If you want velocity from, e.g., hand
movements, the accelerometer is the way to go. If you want velocity
over large scale (metres, kms) use GPS.
