Thousands use GPS jammers

　　It is not uncommon for GPS signals to be inaccurate or even interfered. In most cases, however, interfering signals from satellites used to determine location are caused by increased solar activity and then disappear again within a short period of time.

　　Jammers, so-called jammers, are hard to spot, as are spoofers, where GPS data is artificially forged to give users incorrect location data.

　　Thousands of people are using "GPS jammers" that plug into their car's cigarette lighters to thwart tracking systems used to detect stolen cars, monitor vehicle usage or drivers who work long hours.

　　This can cause overtired truck drivers to stay on the road, and despite the monitoring equipment, could also pose a threat if a jammer-equipped vehicle uses a GPS (Global Positioning System)-based navigation aircraft to enter the airport area near the aircraft.

　　GPS is the frequency range used by navigation satellites to track the location on land, sea, and air of vehicles equipped with GPS tracking devices. There are five frequency bands in the GPS frequency range, but only three are used for civilian use - L1, L2 and L5. While GPS is the most widely used tracking spectrum (developed and widely used in the US), there are many other satellite navigation systems: Russian GLONASS, European Galileo, Chinese Compass, and Japanese QZSS. Depending on which part of the world you are in, you can use one of them, or even just a few at a time. In this category you will find some GPS jammers (anti-tracking devices) that you can use to protect your privacy in your vehicle or anywhere else.

　　Navigation can also be affected by false signals in the areas mentioned above. GPS marine navigation systems sometimes display incorrect positions. Although most modern GPS navigation devices use American NAVSTAR and Russian GLONASS, both systems are subject to jamming and spoofing. Therefore, if the disruptions are indeed related to the Ukrainian war, they can be expected to last for an unpredictable duration of the conflict. Whether the affected area will also not expand is also impossible to say for sure.
