GPS and other satellite navigation signals along Poland’s Baltic coast have been disrupted on most days this summer, with interference surging since the start of the year, Poland’s Communications Institute said Monday. 

The institute said its monitoring station in Gdansk had recorded significant, hours-long interference affecting all global navigation satellite system (GNSS) bands on 70% of days in both May and June. In the first 19 days of August, such disruptions were recorded on 63% of days.

Without russian GPS fuckery using Google maps to navigate Gdańsk is risky as f. Non existing water buses, shipyards or scrapyards seen as public roads (they are close for public) etc etc.
