Live GPS Interference Monitoring

Live GPS jamming map

Live map of degraded satellite-navigation accuracy reported by aircraft across the Wingbits network — the key indicator of GPS jamming and interference. Updated hourly.

Aggregated hourly from ADS-B reports across the Wingbits network. Low NACp values indicate degraded accuracy — not necessarily jamming.

How to read

Aircraft self-report their estimated position uncertainty (EPU) via ADS-B as a NACp value (0–11). NACp 11 = <3 m accuracy; NACp 0 = >10 NM or unknown. Each hex shows the hourly average.

Navigation systems

NACp is the aircraft's self-reported position uncertainty — it covers all GNSS sources (GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou) and inertial systems, not GPS alone.

Red areas

Aircraft in the area report lower accuracy. These colors indicate degraded performance — not the specific cause.

Possible causes

GNSS jamming or spoofing, poor satellite geometry, multipath interference from terrain or buildings, or onboard equipment limitations.

How the map is measured

Every ADS-B position report includes NACp (Navigation Accuracy Category — Position): the aircraft’s own statement of its satellite-navigation position quality on a 0–11 scale. NACp 11 means better than 3 m accuracy; NACp 0 means worse than 10 NM or unknown. GPS jamming characteristically drives NACp down.

The map aggregates those reports from aircraft across the Wingbits network into hexagonal cells, updated hourly, and colors each hex by the average reported accuracy. NACp covers all GNSS sources (GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou) and inertial systems, not GPS alone.

  • Degraded NACp can also reflect older avionics, satellite geometry, or multipath. A single aircraft with poor accuracy is not jamming — regional patterns are meaningful, individual reports are not.
  • Coverage follows the receiver footprint. No data means no coverage — not that satellite navigation works there.
  • The map shows what aircraft observe. It does not identify or attribute an interference source.

GPS interference by region

Globally, most airspace shows normal reported accuracy most of the time. Degraded-accuracy reports concentrate in a small number of regions, visible on the map above as recurring hot spots.

Baltic Sea

Aircraft over the Baltic Sea and its approaches regularly report degraded navigation accuracy, making it one of the most consistently elevated regions on the map.

Black Sea

The Black Sea region frequently shows dense clusters of low-accuracy reports, often extending over surrounding coastlines and flight corridors.

Eastern Mediterranean

Elevated interference indicators appear regularly across the Eastern Mediterranean, affecting busy airways between Europe and the Middle East.

Persian Gulf

The Persian Gulf and the surrounding airspace show recurring periods of degraded reported accuracy on major international routes.

Frequently asked questions

Is this a GPS jamming map?

Yes — it is a live map of GPS and GNSS interference indicators. It shows where aircraft report degraded satellite-navigation accuracy (low NACp), which is the signature GPS jamming leaves in flight data. Low accuracy alone does not prove jamming: spoofing, poor satellite geometry, multipath, or onboard equipment issues can also degrade it.

What does red mean on the map?

Red hexes are areas where aircraft reported the lowest average navigation accuracy during that period. The colors indicate degraded performance — not the specific cause.

How often is the map updated?

The map aggregates NACp reports from aircraft across the Wingbits network hourly. The date slider lets you view daily snapshots and compare two days side by side.

Can I get alerts when GPS interference increases?

Yes. Wingbits.AI lets you create scheduled monitoring agents that watch GPS interference statistics for a region and deliver reports or alerts to Slack, Microsoft Teams, Telegram, or email.

Can I access GPS jamming data by API?

Yes. The Wingbits Customer API exposes GPS interference hexes through the /v1/gps/jam endpoint, alongside live and historical flight data from the same network.

What is the difference between GPS jamming, spoofing, and interference?

Jamming overwhelms satellite-navigation signals with noise so receivers lose accuracy or lock. Spoofing broadcasts counterfeit signals so receivers compute a wrong position. Interference is the umbrella term for anything that degrades reception, including unintentional sources. This map shows degraded reported accuracy, which can result from any of these.

Can I get a GPS jamming data stream for my own systems?

Yes. Wingbits can deliver a dedicated GPS jamming data stream — a live feed containing only the GPS-jammed signals — for integration into your own systems, alongside the map, the API, and monitoring agents. Contact sales@wingbits.com to scope the feed.

Prefer a raw jamming feed?

If you want GPS interference inside your own systems rather than on a map, Wingbits can deliver a dedicated GPS jamming data stream — a live feed containing only the GPS-jammed signals — ready to integrate into your own monitoring, analytics, or operations stack.
