ABSTRACT:
A method of calculating a present position of a movable body for use in a navigation system, is provided with the processes of: measuring an electric-wave-based measurement position which is a position of the movable body measured on the basis of electric waves for positional measurement, which are transmitted from satellites accompanied by time data indicating an electric-wave-based measurement time which is a time when measuring the electric-wave-based measurement position, at the electric-wave-based measurement time; measuring a self-sustained measurement position which is a position of the movable body measured on the basis of data from self-sustained type sensors built in the movable body; calculating a time difference between the electric-wave-based measurement time and a time when measuring the self-sustained measurement position; correcting the electric-wave-based measurement position on the basis of the calculated time difference; and calculating the present position of the movable body on the basis of the corrected electric-wave-based measurement position and the self-sustained measurement position.
