Kaliningrad is widely identified as a primary source of Baltic GPS jamming, so the surrounding sea and coast read as heavily degraded.
Kaliningrad is a heavily militarised Russian exclave wedged between Poland and Lithuania, home to some of the most concentrated electronic-warfare assets in Europe. Systems based here radiate interference across the southern Baltic, degrading GPS for civilian aircraft, ships and drones far beyond the oblast’s borders.
The effect has been near-constant since 2022 and intensifies during Russian military exercises. Because Kaliningrad sits at the centre of busy Baltic air and sea routes, its jamming reaches Polish, Lithuanian, Swedish and Danish airspace — which is why the sea around it reads as permanently degraded on the map above.
Check the live reading above and open the map. FLYAWAY reads GPS accuracy from the aircraft over Kaliningrad and refreshes every few minutes.
When the reading is high, treat GPS near Kaliningrad 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.
