GPS jamming map of Europe

Last updated

The map above is framed on Europe, from the Atlantic to the Caucasus and from the Arctic to the Mediterranean: every hexagon where aircraft reported poor satellite position accuracy in the last UTC day.

Europe today

From flights on 7 November 2026: 935 of 24,198 monitored areas worldwide showed high interference and 2,350 medium. This day's page has the region table and a citation.

Europe holds three of the map's most affected regions. The Baltic Sea: the Gulf of Finland, the Baltic states and the approaches to Kaliningrad have reported sustained loss of accuracy since 2023, and Finland's and Estonia's authorities have attributed the interference, in their own statements, to Russia. The Black Sea: the war in Ukraine has brought interference to the coasts of Romania, Bulgaria, Turkey and Georgia. And the Eastern Mediterranean, around Cyprus, Israel and Lebanon, where spoofing of airliners has been reported since 2023. Eastern Europe, with Poland, Ukraine, Belarus and Moldova, holds the band between the first two.

By country

Each European country with enough traffic has its own page: the day's figures, its cities and airports, the altitude layers, its background with sources and its worst day on record. Start with Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Germany, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, the United Kingdom, Ukraine, Romania, Bulgaria, Turkey, Greece or Cyprus, or browse the regions index. The footer of every page names the twenty most affected countries that day.

Reading the European picture

Three things recur. A sharp edge at the Russian and Belarusian borders, where hexagons turn from green to red within a row, which is what a transmitter near the border produces when seen from cruise altitude. A band along the busiest corridors, from the Gulf of Finland down the Baltic coast and from the Black Sea coast into the Caucasus, where every aircraft on the route reports the same loss. And day-to-day movement in the share, as traffic and the transmitters change: the "Over time" chart on each region page shows the year, and the worst day on record links to its own page. None of this attributes a cause. The region pages quote the authorities that have, with their sources.

For the Baltic alone, see the Baltic Sea map; for the Gulf and the Levant, the Middle East map. The live map can be embedded framed on any of these views, and the jamming map page compares it with other public maps.
