A positioning apparatus and a point positioning method which estimated
with high accuracy with only one linear regression equation is provided.
The positioning apparatus (10) includes the two GPS receivers (1A), (1B)
which connect to the GPS antennas (21), (22). The data of the satellites
is detected and a navigation message is analyzed. And an item that the
output data from the both GPS receivers (1A), (1B) respectively are
related to the signals transmitted from the same satellites is verified
and a matched data is given to a positioning operating device (4). The
positioning operating device (4) estimates every position of the GPS
receivers (antennas) and the positions of the satellites by utilizing
only one linear regression equation which the given data is applied to.
The positioning operating device (4) detects a position of the
positioning apparatus by using the positions of the two GPS receivers.
