By altitude

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

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

Background

Spain's air navigation provider, ENAIRE, runs a network of receivers at its airports to detect and locate interference with satellite navigation, so that sources can be reported to the telecoms authority (ATC Network). In September 2025 the Defence Ministry said a military jet carrying the defence minister met GPS disruption near Kaliningrad on its way to Lithuania, without effect on the flight (GPS World, September 2025). For the reporting on interference in Spain, and who it is attributed to, see Western Europe.

Only hexagons whose centre lies inside the borders of Spain are counted, so hexagons in neighbouring countries and out at sea are left out. The map is framed on 27.5° N to 43.9° N and 18.3° W to 4.4° E.

Spain is counted under Western Europe.

Spain: 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.
