If you are reporting on GPS jamming or spoofing, you can quote the figures for free, in print, online or on air, and embed the live map on any website. For a map image in print or on air, email us. This page sets out how to cite it, the little we ask in return, how to put the live map in a story, and what the data can and can't support.

Today's figure

From flights on 8 November 2026: 978 of 24,225 monitored areas worldwide showed high interference and 2,185 medium. This day's page has the region table and a citation. Source: GPSInterference.com.

Every saved day has its own page with the full table by region, at a permanent address that will still show the same numbers next year. The list of saved days goes back to the start of the archive.

How to cite it

Cite the day you used, not the front page, which changes every morning. In copy, "according to GPSInterference.com, which maps aircraft reports of degraded GPS" is enough. For a footnote or a methods section:

GPSInterference.com. (2026). GPS interference on 8 November 2026 [Data set]. https://gpsinterference.com/day/2026-11-08

Researchers who need APA, BibTeX or the raw hexagons will find them in the developer documentation.

What we ask

Credit and a link. Name GPSInterference.com and link to the page or day you used. On air, saying the name is enough.
Date the figures. The map is rebuilt every day, so give the day the flights were on.
Describe it accurately. The map counts aircraft that reported degraded GPS accuracy. That is evidence of interference, not proof of jamming, and it doesn't say who is responsible. Attribution belongs to the governments and agencies quoted on our region pages, not to the map.
Keep the data credit. The flight data comes from adsb.lol under the Open Database License, which travels with it.

Commercial use is fine, and there is no fee or sign-up. Please don't suggest that we endorse you or your reporting. The full wording is in the terms.

Putting the map in a story

The live map can sit in any article. Choose the area, style, language and size below, then copy the code and paste it where the map should appear. Picking a date fixes the map to that day, so an archived story keeps showing the day it describes.

Each region page also has a ready-made embed for its area, and every option is listed in the developer documentation.

Online, use is free and needs no permission: embed the live map with the code above, on any site, commercial or not. For print or broadcast, please don't use a screenshot: email contact@libregps.com for a print-ready image with the credits.

Why it stands up

It's measured, not reported. The figures come from what aircraft broadcast about their own position accuracy, counted the same way everywhere, every day.
The method is public. The methodology sets out the threshold, the hexagon grid, the minimum traffic for a figure and the known limits, so a reader can check how any number was made.
The data is open. Every saved day can be downloaded as JSON from the API, so an editor or fact-checker can recount it.
It doesn't take sides. The map names no culprits. Background on each region quotes official sources, with links, and keeps their claims attributed to them.
It says what it can't do. Thin areas are marked rather than guessed, and the guide to reading the map covers the common mistakes, including the blank areas and the difference between jamming and spoofing.

Media statement

A short description of the site, free to use as it stands in an article, a programme note or an "about the data" box:

GPSInterference.com is a free, independent map of GPS jamming and spoofing. Every day it counts the aircraft that reported degraded satellite position accuracy over ADS-B, using flight data shared by volunteer receivers through adsb.lol, and maps the share affected in hexagons worldwide. Each day is saved at its own permanent address. The method is published and the data is open under the Open Database License. The map shows where aircraft lost GPS accuracy, not who caused it. https://gpsinterference.com/about

Questions and corrections

For a question about the data, or to report an error, write to contact@libregps.com. The people behind the site have chosen to stay anonymous, so please quote the site and its published method rather than a named person.
