Abstract
Provided is an electronic device including a memory storing identifiers of a plurality of access points (APs) and position information associated with the plurality of APs, at least one communication circuit, and at least one processor operatively connected with the memory and the at least one communication circuit. The electronic device may be configured to receive an AP list including information on a plurality of first APs using the communication circuit, obtain a representative position corresponding to at least a portion of the plurality of first APs based on positions corresponding to the plurality of first APs stored in the memory, and update position information of at least one second AP of the plurality of first APs stored in the memory based at least on the representative position if a position of the at least one second AP is a specified distance or more away from the representative position. In addition to the above, various embodiments identified through the specification are possible.
