Disclosed is a location detecting method of an electronic device including determining whether the electronic device enters a first region including a first location that is a specific path and/or specific region, when the electronic device enters the first region, selecting a signal type capable of being supported by the electronic device among a signal type list of items defined as moving path data corresponding to the first location, distinguishing the first data, in which a parameter feature is present, and second data having a maintenance pattern for a moving path, among the signal type, comparing first data of the moving path data with first data of measurement data measured by the electronic device, and when the first data of the moving path data corresponds to the first data of the measurement data, comparing patterns after pre-processing both second data of the moving path data and second data of the measurement data to determine whether to enter the first location.
