Background

We found no report of GPS jamming or spoofing in Uruguay, and no notice on it from the civil aviation authority, DINACIA. A January 2026 regional safety alert on GNSS interference covers the flight information regions of northern South America and the southern Caribbean, and warns that the lack of a NOTAM does not mean there is no interference (RASG-PA, January 2026). For the reporting on interference in Uruguay, and who it is attributed to, see the Americas.

Only hexagons whose centre lies inside the borders of Uruguay are counted, so hexagons in neighbouring countries and out at sea are left out. The map is framed on 35° S to 30° S and 58.5° W to 53° W.

Uruguay is counted under the Americas.

Uruguay: 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.
