I’m old school so an odometer should never do anything other than measure wheel rotations with a multiplier of circumference of the tire.
Maybe if you wanna get fancy have the multiplier occasionally recalibrated based on GPS but that’s it.

Yeah, I think smart/honest engineers do it exactly like that.
The GPS validates the physical rotation data, corrects for errors. That's why the standard of accuracy has improved in the last 10 years.
