The Tricity coast sits close to Kaliningrad, a source of persistent Baltic jamming, and civilian drone losses have been reported here.
Gdańsk, Gdynia and Sopot — the Tricity — sit on the Bay of Gdańsk, directly exposed to interference radiating from Kaliningrad less than 100 km to the north-east. The coast and the bay are among the most consistently degraded areas in Poland.
Civilian GPS losses have been reported here repeatedly, affecting shipping, aviation and drones. The Hel peninsula, jutting into the Baltic toward Kaliningrad, typically reads even higher than the mainland.
Check the live reading above and open the map. FLYAWAY reads GPS accuracy from the aircraft over Gdańsk and refreshes every few minutes.
When the reading is high, treat GPS near Gdańsk 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.

Gdańsk lies at the head of the Bay of Gdańsk, where the Motława meets the Baltic on Poland's northern coast, forming the core of the Tricity alongside Gdynia and Sopot. It sits roughly 130 km from Kaliningrad, the source most often cited in reports of Baltic navigation interference, which places its harbour approaches and coastal airspace well within the affected zone.
Across the Baltic, widespread GPS interference has been reported publicly since 2022 and grew more persistent through 2023 and 2024. Aviation and maritime authorities in Poland, the Baltic states, Finland and Sweden have all flagged the disruption, with Kaliningrad repeatedly identified as the most likely origin. As a busy Polish coastal hub, Gdańsk's waters fall within that regularly monitored area.
As Poland's principal seaport and the heart of the Tricity, Gdańsk depends on satellite positioning across almost every logistics chain — container terminals, an LNG-fed harbour, shipyards and Lech Wałęsa Airport. Vessels working the approaches, port traffic management and aircraft on final approach all rely on GNSS, so degraded signals translate quickly into slower, more cautious maritime and aviation operations.
