Waiting for my iOSD mini to show up and I was reading up on it. I noticed that in the latest firmware they've added the azimuth info as well. I think this is HUGE. Assuming you've still got video when your quadcopter crashes or flies away, if you're able to remember the distance and azimuth numbers, you should be able to locate your quadcopter within a radius of a few meters (give or take).
I've found a few different iPhone apps that let you mark your current (home) position and then you can move a marker and pin a location on a Google map based on the distance and the azimuth.
I'm sure I'm not the first to think of this, but I haven't read anyone discussing this before. Seems to me that this would be another helpful tool in locating a lost quadcopter. Just thought I'd throw it out there...
