The position acquiring unit obtains a position information of the electronic apparatus based on a signal received by the wireless communication unit. The processor generates a whole route along which a user has moved while distinguishing between first and second section routes. The first section route is a route in which an acquisition accuracy of the position information is lower than a reference value. The processor obtains a distance between starting and ending points of the first section route based on an information different from a position information. The processor generates a candidate section route, which is different from the first section route, for connecting the starting and ending points based on the distance. The processor displays the first and second section routes, and the candidate section route on the display. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An electronic apparatus, comprising: a wireless communication unit; a display; a position acquiring unit configured to obtain a position information of the electronic apparatus based on a received signal received by the wireless communication unit; and at least one processor configured to (i) generate a whole route along which a user has moved based on a plurality of position information while distinguishing between a first section route and a second section route other than the first section route, the first section route being a route in which an acquisition accuracy of the position information is lower than a reference value, (ii) obtain a section distance from a starting point to an ending point of the first section route based on a predetermined information different from a position information, (iii) generate a candidate section route, which is different from the first section route, for connecting the starting point and the ending point of the first section route based on the section distance, and (iv) display the first section route, the second section route, and the candidate section route on the display. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The electronic apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising: a pedometer configured to include an acceleration sensor and obtain a total number of steps based on the acceleration sensor, wherein the predetermined information comprises the number of steps obtained by the pedometer, and the at least one processor obtains the section distance based on a difference between a total number of steps in a starting point of the first section route and a total number of steps in an ending point of the first section route. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The electronic apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising: an input unit, wherein when an input operation for selecting the candidate section route is received via the input unit in a state where the display displays the first section route, the second section route, and the candidate section route, the at least one processor finishes displaying the first section route. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The electronic apparatus according to claim 1, wherein in a state where the display displays the first section route, the second section route, and the candidate section route, the at least one processor displays the first section route, the second section route, and the candidate section route in display forms different from each other. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The electronic apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the at least one processor calculates a first whole distance which is a whole distance of the whole route based on a route information indicating the whole route, obtains a second whole distance which is a whole distance of the whole route based on a predetermined information different from a position information, obtains a candidate whole route, which is different from the whole route, for connecting a starting point and an ending point of the whole route based on the second whole distance when a difference between the first whole distance and the second whole distance is larger than a predetermined value, and displays the whole route and the candidate whole route on the display. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The electronic apparatus according to claim 5, further comprising: a pedometer configured to include an acceleration sensor and obtain a total number of steps based on the acceleration sensor, wherein the at least one processor calculates the first whole distance based on said plurality of position information and a map information, the predetermined information comprises the number of steps obtained by the pedometer, and the at least one processor obtains the second whole distance based on a difference between a total number of steps in a starting point of the whole route and a total number of steps in an ending point of the whole route. ### Claim 7 (depends on 5) The electronic apparatus according to claim 5, wherein when the difference between the first whole distance and the second whole distance is larger than the predetermined value, the at least one processor displays a value of the first whole distance and a value of the second whole distance on the display. ### Claim 8 An electronic apparatus, comprising: a wireless communication unit;
