A coordinate input apparatus includes a vibration pen, a vibration transmission plate, a plurality of vibration detecting units, a calculating unit, a memory unit, and a control unit. The calculating unit calculates vibration transmission times from a point designated by the vibration pen to the vibration detecting units, and calculates coordinate values of the designated point of the vibration pen. The memory unit stores the vibration transmission times from a first designated point of the vibration pen on the vibration transmission plate to the vibration detecting units and coordinate values of the first designated point. The control unit performs calculations on the basis of vibration transmission times from a second designated point calculated by the calculating unit to the vibration detecting units, the vibration transmission times from the first designated point and the coordinate values of the first designated point stored in the memory unit, thereby calculating coordinate values of the second designated point.
