1. An electronic device comprising:
a housing;
a touchscreen display configured to be visible through a portion of the housing;
at least one communication module configured to be located in the housing;
a processor configured to be located in the housing and to be operatively connected to the display and the at least one communication module; and
a memory configured to be located in the housing and to be operatively connected to the processor,
wherein the memory is configured to store a location measurement map and stores instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to:
identify a location of the electronic device using the communication module;
determine a block corresponding to the location of the electronic device in the location measurement map at least partially based on the identified location of the electronic device;
determine a location measurement method at least partially based on priority information of a position source for the determined block and position source information of the electronic device;
measure a final location of the electronic device by the determined location measurement method using the communication module;
display the location measurement method of measuring the final location of the electronic device as a user interface (UI) through the display;
identify, when a movement path of the electronic device is determined, at least one block corresponding to the movement path in the location measurement map;
determine in advance a location measurement method at least partially based on priority information of a position source for a next block in a current block in which the electronic device is located;
measure a final location of the electronic device in the location measurement method determined in advance when the electronic device is located in the next block; and
receive, when a service cell is changed, a location measurement map corresponding to the changed service cell.
