Abstract: A reception apparatus includes a first determination unit to determine whether a state exists in which timing information and six orbital elements information can be obtained from GPS signals transmitted by only two GPS satellites. When the state exists, a calculation unit calculates a trajectory line having a predetermined width on a surface of the earth, based on the GPS signals transmitted by the two satellites. A second determination unit determines whether the trajectory line traverses a district of use stored by the apparatus. A time correcting unit obtains a current time using the obtained timing information, by correcting the timing information based on a time zone corresponding to the district of use, when the trajectory line traverses the district of use. The time correcting unit does not obtain the current time using the obtained timing information when the trajectory line does not traverse the district of use.
