Lithuania records some of Europe's highest degraded-GPS rates, driven by jamming from Kaliningrad and Belarus.
Check the live reading above and open the map. FLYAWAY reads GPS accuracy from the aircraft over Kaunas and refreshes every few minutes.
When the reading is high, treat GPS near Kaunas 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.
Lithuania records some of Europe's highest degraded-GPS rates, driven by jamming from Kaliningrad and Belarus.
Kaunas lies in central Lithuania, wedged between Kaliningrad to the west and Belarus to the east, at the meeting of the Nemunas and Neris rivers. The city sits about 220 km from Kaliningrad, the Russian exclave repeatedly named as the primary source of regional jamming, leaving its airport and cargo routes within the interference-prone belt.
Public reporting of Baltic GPS interference dates from 2022 and grew through 2023 and 2024, with aviation and maritime authorities across the Baltic states and neighbouring countries flagging the problem and Kaliningrad most often cited as the source. Positioned close to that exclave, Kaunas belongs to the wider region where operators have learned to treat satellite navigation as potentially unreliable.
Kaunas is Lithuania's second city and a logistics and manufacturing hub, with an international airport and an expanding cargo sector that depends on GNSS for routing and scheduling. Where satellite signals are jammed, freight movements, aircraft operations and any positioning-dependent industry face added friction, giving the city's transport and drone operators a clear stake in tracking interference.
