Check the live reading above and open the map. FLYAWAY reads GPS accuracy from the aircraft over Narva and refreshes every few minutes.
When the reading is high, treat GPS near Narva 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.
Narva sits directly on the Russian border, where GPS jamming is among the strongest and most persistent in Estonia.
Narva is Estonia's easternmost city, standing directly on the Russian border along the Narva River near the eastern end of the Gulf of Finland. At roughly 130 km from the Russian border east of the gulf, the source of the region's near-daily interference, it sits about as close as any Estonian town to the strongest reported jamming.
Finland and Estonia have reported near-daily GPS interference over the Gulf of Finland since 2022, with aviation authorities in both countries issuing warnings and, in 2024, noting disrupted airline approaches at eastern airports. Situated on the border itself, Narva lies within the most heavily affected stretch of this corridor, where degraded positioning is a persistent regional pattern.
Narva is an industrial and energy town whose logistics and cross-border traffic sit squarely within the strongest interference in the region. Because navigation, timing and any GNSS-guided operation can be disrupted here, local hauliers, industrial sites and drone users face a more challenging positioning environment than almost anywhere else along Estonia's frontier.
