Techniques are provided which may be implemented using various methods and/or apparatuses in a mobile GNSS device to compensate for arm swing. An example of an method for compensating for arm swing according to the disclosure includes determining an arm swing signal, such that the arm swing signal is approximately sinusoidal with a period of approximately T seconds, determining a position signal measurement period, receiving a plurality of positioning signals at intervals corresponding to the position signal measurement period, and determining current position information based on the plurality of positioning signals.
