1. An electronic device comprising:
a generation unit that generates data;
a reception unit that receives, from an external device, information related to a position, the information including first information and second information;
a storage unit that stores the first information and the second information related to the position received by the reception unit; and
a control unit that
correlates the data generated by the generation unit with the first information related to the position or the second information related to the position stored in the storage unit, wherein
the first information is obtained by the electronic device transmitting a request, to the external device, to transmit the first information,
the second information is obtained without the electronic device transmitting the request to the external device, and
the control unit determines an elapsed length of time that has passed since the reception unit received the information that is currently stored in the storage unit by comparing a current time point with a time point at which the first information or the second information related to the position that is currently stored in the storage unit was stored in the storage unit, and
in response to the elapsed length of time being greater than or equal to a predetermined length of time, transmits the request, to the external device, to transmit the first information related to the position, and correlates the data generated by the generation unit with the first information related to the position received by the reception unit after transmission of the request.
