Positioning apparatus and positioning method
First Claim
1. A positioning apparatus comprising:
- a first positioning unit configured to obtain a first position information which represents a position of the positioning apparatus itself measured by carrying out a first positioning in a low precision;
a displaying unit configured to display said first position information; and
a second positioning unit configured to obtain a second position information which represents said position of the positioning apparatus itself measured by carrying out a second positioning in a precision higher than said low precision in parallel with said first positioning and the display of said first position information by said displaying unit, wherein said displaying unit updates a screen based on said second position information.

Abstract
A positioning apparatus having short sensory time for executing the high precision positioning of the user on a map. The positioning apparatus includes: a first positioning unit for obtaining a first position information which represents the position of the positioning apparatus itself measured by carrying out a low precision positioning; a displaying unit for displaying the first position information; and a second positioning unit for obtaining the second position information which represents the position of the positioning apparatus itself measured by carrying out a high precision positioning. The high precision positioning is executed in parallel with the low precision positioning. The displaying unit updates a screen based on the second position information.
