A navigation apparatus includes: a main unit to be attached to a mobile object through a base section, the main unit detecting a current position of the mobile object based on positioning information; a section that calculates acceleration applied to the mobile object based on the mobile object's speed; an acceleration sensor that observes acceleration applied to the main unit; a section that calculates an attachment inclination of the acceleration sensor with respect to the mobile object; a section that estimates, while the positioning information is not being supplied, a speed and position of the mobile object; a section that detects whether the main unit is mounted on the base section; and a section that forces the above section to stop estimating the speed when the main unit is not mounted on the base section.
