From Reddit comments at r/aviation (https://www.reddit.com/r/aviation/comments/4msmh7/gps_interference_notam_for_southwest_us/ https://www.reddit.com/r/aviation/comments/4msmh7/gps_interf...) it appears like this could affect civilian GPS usages such as geolocation apps. I wonder if Google Maps or any other GPS apps should be showing a warning that because those apps can just behave weirdly?
As a foursquare/swarm user myself I would be quite pissed off by my OCD if I cannot check in to places I go haha.
- tomjakubowski 10y agoUnless you're on a bridge it should be fine. The article says funkiness starts at 50 feet above ground level.
- rconti 10y agoThat cannot be significant. Bridges have ground, and it's also possible to be above 50 feet above Sea Level while still on the ground. I'm suspicious.
- andyjdavis 10y agoFrom the discussion in this thread it seems likely that the source of the disruption is something that will be broadcast from ground level. Your position relative to that transmitter (bearing in mind the curvature of the earth) will likely matter far more than your elevation relative to the ocean. If you are on the ground you will presumably be sheltered by intervening obstacles (building, hills, the earth) while a plane in the air (or anyone else significantly above ground level) may have line of sight to the source of whatever is going on.
