A positioning device including: a time counter for counting time; a first reception controller (S1) for intermittently receiving time information from the positioning satellite through a reception unit; a time revising unit (S14) for revising the time counted by the time counter based on the received time information; an error calculator (S12, S13) for calculating an error per unit time (“α/β”) in the time counted by the time counter based on the received time information and the time counted by the time counter; a time correcting unit (S4) for calculating corrected time by removing an error from the time counted by the time counter based on the calculated error per unit time (“α/β”); and a positioning unit (S5 to S8) for acquiring a signal of the positioning satellite by using the corrected time and measuring a position of the positioning device based on the acquired signal.
