By altitude

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

Background

Switzerland has banned importing and owning jammers since 1 January 2018, in line with the European Union, according to the Federal Office of Communications, OFCOM (OFCOM). The Federal Office of Civil Aviation received more than 2,100 reports of GPS malfunctions in 2023, 55% more than in 2022 (Swissinfo, 2024). For the reporting on interference in Switzerland, and who it is attributed to, see Western Europe.

Only hexagons whose centre lies inside the borders of Switzerland are counted, so hexagons in neighbouring countries and out at sea are left out. The map is framed on 45.7° N to 47.9° N and 5.9° E to 10.6° E.

Switzerland is counted under Western Europe.

Switzerland: 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.
