Where Gotland sits, and why GPS is affected

Gotland is a large Swedish island set squarely in the central Baltic, exposed on all sides to open water rather than sheltered by a mainland coast. It stands about 340 km from Kaliningrad, the source most commonly cited in regional interference reporting, and its mid-sea position leaves ferry routes and airspace with little natural cover from disturbances that cross the Baltic.

GPS interference near Gotland: the wider picture

GPS interference over the Baltic has been reported publicly since 2022 and grew through 2023 and 2024, with Swedish aviation and maritime authorities flagging it alongside those in Poland, Finland and the Baltic states. Kaliningrad is named most often as the source. Gotland's exposed central location places it firmly inside this documented and increasingly monitored zone.

Who depends on GPS around Gotland

The island's economy runs on ferries, seasonal tourism and a re-established military garrison, served by a small airport, and all of these lean on dependable GNSS at sea and in the air. With shipping and flights crossing open Baltic water to reach the island, reliable positioning matters directly to routine traffic here.
