GPS jamming over Latvia

Updated 27 October 2026, 21:19 UTC

In the update of 27 October 2026, 21:19 UTC, 41 hexagons had enough aircraft to measure. 30 showed high interference (over 10% affected).

Flights on 26 October 2026. The map is rebuilt once a day from the previous day's flights.

Most affected areas

Place	Share affected	Aircraft affected

With few aircraft, one report can give a hexagon a high share; see the limitations.

Today in numbers

124 of 906 aircraft observations (13.7%) reported low accuracy. An aircraft counts once in each hexagon it crossed.

Hexagons by level, latest update
Level	Share of aircraft affected	Hexagons
High	over 10%	30
Medium	3–10%	7
Low	under 3%	4

By altitude

Mostly high altitude: points to a powerful or distant source. How this is read.

Aircraft observations by barometric altitude, latest update
Altitude	Aircraft	Share affected
Below 5,000 ft	80	2.5%
5,000 to 15,000 ft	234	9.0%
15,000 to 30,000 ft	348	7.2%
Above 30,000 ft	448	17.9%

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

Area covered

This page counts only the hexagons whose centre lies inside Latvia's borders, so hexagons in neighbouring countries and out at sea are left out. The map is framed on 55.6°N to 58.1°N and 20.9°E to 28.3°E.

Background

For the reporting on interference in this area, and who it is attributed to, see the Baltic Sea.

About these figures. 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.
