Sailors complained about GPS signal failures in the Baltic Sea and in northern Poland, which prevents them from choosing the right course. This was announced on January 2 by the radio station RMF FM.
"Satellite compasses, even radar: nothing works," one of the sailors told the correspondent of the radio station.
As specified in the publication, problems with GPS were noticed in Finland, in the north of Poland and in the waters of the Baltic. Navigation on their ships does not work, which is why sailors often have to use a regular compass to get to the port.
Earlier it was reported that in the east of Finland, two airports bordering Russia switched to a radio navigation system due to interference with GPS. It was noted that the outdated DME device (omnidirectional rangefinder beacon, RMD) was used back in the 1960s. Joensuu and Savonlinna airports were forced to put it back into operation in September 2024, Izvestia reminds.
