There are perfectly good optical gyros for that kind of job, most
expensive planes already have them, and space qualifying them is

That said, colonizing any planet, it would make a lot of sense
to install some kind of high frequency hyberbolic transmitter
coverage with a bidirectional data-channel, as a safety-of-life
capability for time, position, alerts, space-weather etc.
