First output position calculation method, storage medium, positioning device, and electronic instrument

Abstract

In the first positioning, a positioning process that calculates the present position based on acquired GPS satellite signals (step A) is performed a plurality of times. A number of times that the difference (position difference) ΔP between the calculated present located position and the preceding located position is successively equal to or less than a given value is counted using a position counter, and a number of times that the difference (time difference) ΔT between the present time error and the preceding time error is successively equal to or less than a given value is counted using a time counter each time the positioning process is performed (step A). A position threshold value and a time threshold value are determined by changing a reference threshold value by an amount corresponding to an APR average value (step A). When the position count value has reached the position threshold value (step A: YES) and the time count value has reached the time threshold value (step A: YES), the present position is determined to be the first located position and output (step A).
