Swedish authorities report a sharp rise in GPS disruption over the Baltic, affecting air and sea traffic toward Gotland and the east.
Check the live reading above and open the map. FLYAWAY reads GPS accuracy from the aircraft over Stockholm and refreshes every few minutes.
When the reading is high, treat GPS near Stockholm 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.
Swedish authorities report a sharp rise in GPS disruption over the Baltic, affecting air and sea traffic toward Gotland and the east.
Sweden's capital spreads across an archipelago where Lake Mälaren meets the Baltic, its shipping lanes threading east toward open water. It lies roughly 530 km from Kaliningrad, the source most often named in regional interference reports, far enough that jamming here tends to be intermittent rather than constant, but still within the affected Baltic zone.
Widespread GPS interference across the Baltic has been publicly reported since 2022 and escalated through 2023 and 2024, with Swedish aviation and maritime authorities among those flagging it alongside counterparts in Poland, the Baltic states and Finland. Kaliningrad is the source cited most frequently. Stockholm sits within this broad monitored region rather than at its epicentre.
As Sweden's finance and shipping centre, Stockholm depends on satellite positioning across its Baltic sea lanes and the air traffic through Arlanda. Vessels navigating the crowded archipelago and aircraft on approach both rely on stable GNSS, so even occasional degradation is worth tracking for pilots and mariners operating in and out of the region.
