1. An electronic device comprising:
- a geomagnetic sensor that detects geomagnetism;
a motion sensor that detects movement of the electronic device;
a control section that is configured to measure the azimuth of the electronic device on the basis of the result detected by the geomagnetic sensor and on the basis of the result detected by the motion sensor, and is configured, while the motion sensor is detecting that the electronic device is stationary, to measure the azimuth of the electronic device only on the basis of the result detected by the motion sensor; and
a display section that displays the azimuth measured by the control section.
