Abstract
A method for position determination, having a first step, in which a first sequence of positions is determined from radio signals of stationary transmitters, and a second sequence of positions being determined from other sensor data by dead reckoning. The first sequence of positions and the second sequence of positions are compared with one another in a second step. A computer program product for carrying out the method is also provided. A position determining device, in particular in a mobile terminal is also provided, having a receiver for radio signals of stationary transmitters, having position determining means for determining a first position of the receiver from radio signals of stationary transmitters, sensors at least for determining a direction and a distance in order to determine a second position by dead reckoning, and a memory for storing a sequence of first positions and a sequence of second positions. The first position determining device has a processing unit for comparing the sequence of first positions and the sequence of second positions.
