Will your drone come back?

GPS jamming floods the radio frequency that satellites use, so receivers on the ground and in the air lose their position fix. For a drone it shows up as refused take-offs, drift, and an unreliable return-to-home.

Jamming denies the signal, so accuracy collapses and the aircraft knows something is wrong. Spoofing feeds a fake signal, so the aircraft trusts a false position and flies to it without warning. FLYAWAY detects and shows the two separately.

Open the live map and check your spot. FLYAWAY reads the GPS accuracy that aircraft overhead broadcast and turns it into a colour-coded risk layer, updated every few minutes.

In a high-risk area, treat GPS as unreliable. Keep the drone in line of sight, be ready to fly manually, and do not count on return-to-home. In severe jamming, do not fly.

It can. Without a trustworthy fix a drone may drift, refuse to hold position, or trigger a failsafe that sends it the wrong way. Checking the map before launch is the simplest way to avoid a flyaway.

The strongest and most persistent interference sits around the Baltic (Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Finland, Sweden) and near Kaliningrad, with spoofing common over the Black Sea and eastern Mediterranean. The live map shows the current picture.

From the open ADS-B network. Aircraft broadcast how accurate their own navigation is, and we aggregate that into a jamming and spoofing risk map. It is advisory only and not a navigation instrument.

Every few minutes, around the clock, so day and night swings in interference are visible as they happen.

Mostly yes. GNSS is the umbrella term for satellite navigation (GPS, Galileo, GLONASS and BeiDou), and jamming or spoofing usually hits all of them at once. FLYAWAY reads the overall GNSS accuracy that aircraft report, so the map covers GPS and GNSS interference together.

GPSJam publishes one map per day and Flightradar24 shows jamming inside an aviation product. FLYAWAY is built for drone pilots: it updates every few minutes, separates jamming from spoofing, works in your language, and can email you an alert for a specific spot.

Most of the interference over Europe comes from military electronic warfare, much of it around Kaliningrad and the war in Ukraine. Jammers drown out the weak satellite signal, while spoofers broadcast a stronger fake one. It is rarely aimed at drones directly, but it degrades GPS for everyone nearby.

Yes. The same interference degrades car navigation, ship and aircraft systems, and can even disturb GPS-guided robotic lawnmowers. Phones usually keep a rough position from mobile networks, but their GPS accuracy drops inside a jammed area.
