Electronic apparatus, location estimating method, and storage medium

A location estimating method executed by an electronic apparatus, the method comprising:

• acquiring a current location of the electronic apparatus;
• setting a correction area within the adjacent area based on a link attribute indicating an attribute of an adjacent area of a link in map data, the correction area being referred to correct the current location to a location on the link;
• and
• correcting the current location to a location on the link which corresponds to the correction area, in a case in which the current location acquired in the location acquiring step belongs to the correction area, wherein
• the link attribute includes a modification condition to modify the range of the correction area, and
• the correction area setting unit modifies the range of the correction area based on the modification condition and a result of an estimation of a user's action.

A non-transitory storage medium encoded with a computer-readable program for controlling an electronic apparatus, the program enabling a computer to execute:

• to acquire a current location of the electronic apparatus;
• to set a correction area within the adjacent area based on a link attribute indicating an attribute of an adjacent area of a link in map data, the correction area being referred to correct the current location to a location on the link;
• and
• to correct the current location to a location on the link which corresponds to the correction area, in a case in which the current location acquired in the location acquiring step belongs to the correction area, wherein
• the link attribute includes a modification condition to modify the range of the correction area, and
• the correction area setting unit modifies the range of the correction area based on the modification condition and a result of an estimation of a user's action.
