GPS jamming in the Baltic Sea

Reading live conditions

The Baltic Sea is the epicentre of European GPS jamming, radiating from Kaliningrad across Poland, the Baltic states, Finland and Sweden. This is the widest live view of the region.

Why the Baltic is Europe’s GPS-jamming epicentre

The Baltic Sea has become the most heavily and persistently GPS-jammed body of water in Europe. The interference radiates chiefly from the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad and from military activity tied to the war in Ukraine, blanketing the airspace over Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Finland, Sweden and Denmark.

Unlike sporadic outages elsewhere, Baltic jamming is effectively a fixed feature: thousands of civilian flights report degraded GNSS here every week, and the pattern has held since 2022. The map above shows which parts of the region are worst affected right now.

Is it safe to fly a drone in the Baltic Sea?

Where the reading is high, treat GPS as unreliable: keep the drone in sight, be ready to fly manually, and do not rely on return-to-home. When it is severe, do not fly.
