Interference drifts across Poland from the east and the Baltic, and spikes during Russian electronic-warfare activity near the border.
Check the live reading above and open the map. FLYAWAY reads GPS accuracy from the aircraft over Warsaw and refreshes every few minutes.
When the reading is high, treat GPS near Warsaw 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.
Interference drifts across Poland from the east and the Baltic, and spikes during Russian electronic-warfare activity near the border.
Warsaw stands inland on the Vistula in central Poland, well south of the coast yet still within the broad zone of Baltic navigation disruption. It lies about 280 km from Kaliningrad, the source most frequently named in regional interference reports. Distance offers some buffer, but the capital's dense airspace around Chopin and Modlin remains exposed to the same pattern.
Public reporting of GPS interference across the Baltic region began in 2022 and intensified over 2023 and 2024, drawing warnings from aviation and maritime authorities in Poland and its neighbours. Kaliningrad is the source cited most often. Although Warsaw sits inland, Polish airspace forms part of the area those authorities have repeatedly flagged, keeping the matter relevant to operations here.
Warsaw anchors Poland's largest economy and its busiest aviation and logistics network, centred on Chopin and Modlin airports. GNSS underpins air traffic management, land surveying and the routing of freight and delivery fleets across the metropolitan area. When positioning signals weaken, approaches, timing systems and precision mapping all feel the strain, making reliable satellite navigation a practical concern for the capital's operators.
