Southern Poland sees interference drift from the east during periods of intense jamming near the border.
Check the live reading above and open the map. FLYAWAY reads GPS accuracy from the aircraft over Kraków and refreshes every few minutes.
When the reading is high, treat GPS near Kraków 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.
Southern Poland sees interference drift from the east during periods of intense jamming near the border.
Kraków lies in southern Poland on the upper Vistula, the country's second city and the furthest of these hubs from the coast at roughly 520 km from Kaliningrad, the most frequently cited interference source. That separation lowers exposure compared with the Baltic shore, yet Balice airport and the surrounding airspace still fall within the wider area covered by Polish and neighbouring authorities' warnings.
The Baltic region has seen widely reported GPS interference since 2022, escalating through 2023 and 2024, with aviation and maritime bodies across Poland, the Baltic states, Finland and Sweden issuing warnings and Kaliningrad named most often as the source. Kraków sits far inland in the south, but it remains part of the national airspace those Polish authorities monitor for the same disruption.
Kraków's economy leans on tourism, technology and business services, with John Paul II Balice airport handling steady passenger and cargo traffic. GNSS supports aircraft approaches, logistics routing and location-based services across the metropolitan area. Even inland, interruptions to satellite positioning can complicate flight operations and timing-dependent systems, which is why signal reliability matters to the city's aviation and logistics sectors.
