Abstract: [Object] To provide a reception apparatus, a program, and a reception method that are capable of acquiring altitude information by a method suitable for a wearable device and improving position calculation accuracy. [Solving Means] The reception apparatus according to the present technology includes an altitude information acquisition unit and a positioning calculation unit. The altitude information acquisition unit acquires altitude information externally calculated via proximity wireless communication. The positioning calculation unit performs positioning computation on the basis of a received global navigation satellite system (GNSS) signal and the altitude information supplied from the altitude information acquisition unit.
