Kalmar and the Öland strait sit on the Baltic edge that Swedish agencies flag for frequent GPS disruption.
Check the live reading above and open the map. FLYAWAY reads GPS accuracy from the aircraft over Kalmar and refreshes every few minutes.
When the reading is high, treat GPS near Kalmar 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.
Kalmar and the Öland strait sit on the Baltic edge that Swedish agencies flag for frequent GPS disruption.
Kalmar lies on Sweden's southeast coast along the Kalmar Strait, the narrow channel separating the mainland from the island of Öland, with the open Baltic just beyond. It sits about 340 km from Kaliningrad, the source most frequently named in interference reports, and its outward-facing strait leaves ferries and regional flights within reach of disturbances crossing the sea.
GPS interference over the Baltic has been reported publicly since 2022 and grew through 2023 and 2024, drawing warnings from Swedish authorities and their counterparts in Poland, Finland and the Baltic states, with Kaliningrad the most commonly cited source. Kalmar's exposed strait-side location on the southeast coast places it within this documented regional pattern.
The town's economy leans on ferries, fishing and regional aviation, each of which depends on satellite positioning to work the strait and the open water beyond. Crossings to Öland and coastal fishing runs use GNSS routinely, so interference reaching this stretch of the Baltic has practical consequences for the local traffic that keeps the town connected.
