Where Bornholm sits, and why GPS is affected

Bornholm is a Danish island marooned in the middle of the Baltic, far from the Danish mainland and closer to the Swedish and Polish coasts, surrounded by open water on every side. It lies about 360 km from Kaliningrad, the source cited most often in regional reporting, and its isolated position offers little shelter from interference crossing the sea.

GPS interference near Bornholm: the wider picture

Publicly reported since 2022 and escalating through 2023 and 2024, GPS interference over the Baltic has drawn warnings from authorities across Poland, the Baltic states, Finland and Sweden, with Kaliningrad the most frequently named source. Bornholm's exposed mid-sea location, distant from any mainland, places it squarely inside this documented and monitored zone.

Who depends on GPS around Bornholm

The island runs on ferries, fishing, tourism and a regional airport, all operating well out into the Baltic and away from mainland support. That distance leaves its sea and air links particularly exposed to interference, making dependable GNSS important for the routine crossings and flights that connect the island to the wider region.
