By altitude

France: mostly low altitude, which points to local, low-power jammers. How this is read.

France: an aircraft is counted in each layer it crosses, so the rows do not add up.

Background

In France, owning or using a GPS jammer is an offence; the national frequency agency, ANFR, gives the penalty as up to six months in prison and a €30,000 fine (ANFR, July 2020). The jammers its inspectors trace are often in vehicles. In one case near Saulce-sur-Rhône in 2015, the jammer was seized and its user questioned by the gendarmerie (ANFR, May 2015). For the reporting on interference in France, and who it is attributed to, see Western Europe.

Only hexagons whose centre lies inside the borders of France are counted, so hexagons in neighbouring countries and out at sea are left out. The map is framed on 41.3° N to 51.2° N and 4.9° W to 9.7° E.

France is counted under Western Europe.

France: low reported accuracy points to interference but does not prove it, and the map cannot locate a transmitter or say who is responsible. How the map is made.
