gyro sensors messed up

I was in Portland yesterday with my girl friend for v-day and I was parked in a 10 story parking structure with one of those curly q down ramps to get out. I parked on the top floor and spinned round and round down the whole thing all ten levels and it fudged up my sensors, as I started to drive home it said i was driving into the Willamette river and the whole way home it showed me driving near or in the river all the way home. Will these sensors reconfigure themselves or whatever next time i get in my car, or what will happen. Has this happened to someone else before.

Lol, I read somewhere here in a post that our cars' interior design was built to model a boat and now your car is tracing its roots gone fishing!

But I am sure it's gonna reset next time you start your car up.

I thought the NAV system used GPS exclusively and possibly a magentic compass, which might have gotten behind. But I do think you'll be ok, no warranty expressed or implied in my statement.
