Eastern Germany catches interference spilling west from the Baltic and Poland during periods of intense jamming.
Check the live reading above and open the map. FLYAWAY reads GPS accuracy from the aircraft over Berlin and refreshes every few minutes.
When the reading is high, treat GPS near Berlin 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.
Eastern Germany catches interference spilling west from the Baltic and Poland during periods of intense jamming.
Berlin lies well inland in northeastern Germany, on the flat plain drained by the Spree and Havel rivers, some distance south of the Baltic coast. It is around 530 km from Kaliningrad, the source most frequently cited in regional interference reports, and its inland position generally leaves it at the softer margin of the affected zone rather than in the exposed coastal band.
GPS interference across the Baltic has been reported publicly since 2022 and grew through 2023 and 2024, with aviation and maritime authorities around the region flagging it and Kaliningrad named most often as the source. Berlin, set inland from the coast, lies within the wider area covered by this reporting though away from its most affected stretches.
Germany's capital is a services, technology and logistics hub served by BER airport, where aviation, surveying and autonomous-vehicle testing all draw on satellite positioning. Precise GNSS underpins these activities, so even the lighter interference reaching an inland city can matter to sensitive applications, making regional conditions worth keeping in view for operators here.
