Automobile | USER: Tried two different systems. Apple iphone (waze app, and google maps) as well as the integrated gps in my truck (ford f150). Neither system was tracking for approximately 1.5hrs. Was traveling east from Columbus OH to Pittsburgh PA on I70. At times system showed i was traveling west on that road, and or running parallel off the road 30yds….. Applications kept trying to correct course infinitely as the system wasn’t tracking.
Rebooted both systems, nothing helped. System returned to functioning after about 1.5hrs of in correct operation (and i had travelled about 90miles east of Columbus OH).

Other | USER: This anomaly has been ongoing since approximately January 3, 2024, and occurs at and around the junction listed at the above lat and long. When I approached that junction, all of the active GPS devices started to shift off in the incorrect direction. Normally, around 30-40 degrees of deflection from the route of travel. This deflection generally continues to occur for approximately 3-5 miles after the anomaly begins, and then the GPS corrects back to the route of travel. This anomaly tends to occur between around 1100z to sunset (around 2300z). My Jeep Grand Cherokee's integrated GPS has a satellite details page, and all of the satellites have high signal strength and an ample number of satellites. Due to the consistency of the interference and its start and stop timing, my initial assumption was some sort of ground-based interference either as unintentionally generatorated RFI or intentional interference. I will happily provide screenshots from both my iPhone and photos of the details page from my car if requested.

Research | USER: White Sands Missile Range conducts testing several times during the year. These tests usually disrupt our GNSS receivers reducing the SNRs sometimes small amounts and sometimes to the point where the receivers lose lock and stay that way for hours. Up until last year these test periods were listed on the Approved GPS Testing Schedule. I believe that schedule was only updated twice last year. The current one is still for 2023-06-30. Signal degradation was also seen in August, October and December of 2023. This problem was for just a very short amount of time at approximately 0703UT. Plots of the interference can be seen at www.passcal.nmt.edu/~bob/gpsmon/7gmwsmr.html, though this one is pretty short/small. Another report will be made for 2024-01-23 on the 24th (after daily results are plotted). NAVCEN: Thank you for bringing this to our attention, the GPS testing page has been updated. |

Because it’s happening seemingly randomly it’s hard to pinpoint but it’s been happening almost daily for the last month. Again, this isn’t an equipment issue because I’ve tried three different systems and it also isn’t consistent but when it’s not working- none of the devices can find a correct signal. NAVCEN: The GPS Operations Center reviewed the GPS Constellation and Control Segment, there are no known anomalies that might affect GPS signal integrity at the time and vicinity of the reported problem. Space weather was reviewed and found unlikely to have impacted GPS performance. There were no authorized GPS tests in the area. No correlating reports from inter-agency partners.

Law Enforcement | USER: Hello, I am at Telecommunications Specialist with Drug Enforcement Administration in Seattle, WA. I am seeking any reports of GPS (active/LNA) antenna failure around 12/18/2023. Several agency radios w/ GPS receivers no longer receive GPS signals. I suspect it may be related to the X2.87 solar flare on 12/14/2023 so I'm looking to confirm other incidents. Any ideas/help would be appreciated.

Transportation | USER: I was driving on 495 S from Bethesda MD to Fredericksburg VA using Waze for navigation. Waze began malfunctioning and thought I was on some random side roads a good bit off to the side of 495 & began continually re-routing. Force restarted Waze, problem persisted. Had my passenger try switching to Apple Maps & it had the same issue, thought we were off on the side like Waze did. Thought it might just be my phone then so tried engaging my cars built in nav system and displayed the current gps location in the same inaccurate position as Waze was. At that point suspected it was not something with my phone but likely a broader GPS issue given it was happening across devices. Did not think it would help, but for the sake of trying, I powered my phone completely off since it was connected via CarPlay just to verify there was no possible way that my phone was somehow interfering with my card nav system (tho I don’t know how that would even happen anyway). My passenger took a picture of the cars nav system & Waze being simultaneously incorrect in the same spot. The issue persisted from 495 S through getting on 95 S until we were about 10 miles north of Fredericksburg.

CA-89 N from Tahoma to Truckee and then I-80 W | Automobile | USER: For most of the drive from Tahoma to Truckee to San Francisco, our position was being reported by the GPS as being roughly 200-500 feet away from our actual location which caused both nav system and Google maps directions to continually recalculate directions because it did not think we were on either CA-89 or I-80. While we were on I-80, the reports were generally south of our location although there were some occasions where it was reported north (generally it seemed having trouble determining our exact latitude). Occasionally, the GPS would briefly report our current actual location and then it would drift off after a few minutes. The disruption lasted from 9pm PDT when we left Tahoma to 1am PDT when we arrived in San Francisco. It was the first time in years of using GPS nav systems that I observed any errors.

It took 4 hours before signal was back. Ship reports other ships informing on VF 16 channel that they too have lost GPS signal.
Ship informs losing GPS signal in all systems and receivers (GPS, Sat C, Satellite Log, AIS). GPS signal would come back for a minute however it would show wrong location and back at Das Island.
Ship informs total of 4 hours experienced without GPS. All GPS issues started 2 hours before passing ABU MUSA Island and 2 hours after passing ABU MUSA Island.

NE Washington, DC | Other | USER: I was using the Phone for navigation in Google Maps. I was mid-route when the map suddenly showed my location as several hundred meters west of my true location. As I continued to drive, it appeared to get worse. I reset the device but it did not correct the problem. I checked my location in an alternate mapping program and it continued to display the wrong location. My phone’s software is up to date. This has never happened before. The problem appeared to resolve approximately 30 minutes later on its own, after I arrived at my destination. It’s unclear if my location was corrected because I was on wifi at my destination or if it’s because the gps issue resolved. NAVCEN sent data mapping information. |

South of Hormuz Straits, North of Ras Al Khayma | Marine | User: Both Marine GPS units lost position and went blank basically with nothing showing in the Lat/Long fields.
Rebooting the DGPS units showed it passing the Power On Self Test without error’s but they both still displayed a blank screen with an alarm of “No fix”. Our personal GNSS receiver still gave a GPS fix(satellite only), confirming the ship’s DGPS unit’s fix loss was not being caused due to satellite GPS signals but possibly due to jamming or scrambling of the differential signals. As both DGPS units were setup with “Auto” for most settings, this was changed to “GPS Only” mode to process only satellite signals & reject all SBAS & DGPS signals. The units were then re-initialized and this restored position fix data on them.

Port Townsend, WA, USA | Marine | User: The primary and secondary GPS units on board appeared to lose connection with all satellites. Power cycling of the units did not solve the problem. Approximately 20min after the outage, the secondary unit maintained satellite connection and was able to provide position fixing, but the primary unit continued to experience a 'no fix' loss of position. After securing the vessel at the conclusion of the crossing, the secondary unit experienced a brief satellite connection interruption (<2min), in addition to a 'DOP' flashing on the screen. After approximately 1hr from the original connection loss, both units are now maintaining position fixes.

Dunkirk | Automobile | USER: The GPS was confused; repeatedly gave inaccurate directions; would tell me to turn "right onto southern maryland boulevard, route 4, S" when that would put me into on-coming traffic. Did the same thing to turn left onto the same blvd going north; re-routed itself every few seconds; gave multiple directions, one right after the other. Would show the destination much farther away (EX: 6 hours and 11 minutes) when it reality it was about 20 minutes away. Repeatedly did this and kept changing the time to destination every few second. Verizon is my cell company. A friend traveling through Philadelphia yesterday (2.5 hours north of Dunkirk, MD) experienced the same thing. It was not just my phone or my area. Right now I keep having to re-enter the re-captcha code so your site is not working properly either.

Mitchell, SD | Automobile | USER: The date & time are not working on my auto radio. I do have GPS on my vehicle. It set it back to 2002 at 12:24. I called the dealer a few times and they said it has nothing to do with the dealership or auto. They said it is because it's being put on satellite and they are working at getting all the numbers set right. Corp. said that Aug. 12, 2022 is when it should be fixed. That date came and went and it's still not working. Can you please tell me when this all should be straightened out? If this is not the correct place I should be talking to, can you inform me of who I should be getting ahold of. Apparently they are switching from towers to satellite for the autos. Vehicles that were built before 2012 is what it affected. I would really appreciate some kind of a response. I know nothing about the date or time it occurred. I just noticed one day it was way off and couldn't reset it. Thank you. NAVCEN sent information regarding GPS Rollover issues. |

Empire | Surveying | USER: During the weeks of December 21 and 28, we had the time to fix was very long when there was even slight skyview clutter accuracy and repeatability were considerably degraded compared to anything done in the last 12 months. The problem seems worst at 1030 am till about 1 pm. Also on another site miles away where fixed position time was less but accuracy and repeatability were also degraded. All receivers were rebooted several times and firmware updates were checked to be current. These problems were consistent and unexplainable. It was like stepping back in time to GPS equipment a decade ago. Radio links were strong time delay showed a second. Only in the wide open did the receivers function as expected as far as time to fix but repeatability was still degraded. Lock in cluttered or wooded areas that we have repeatedly performed this past year were impossible with and we tried two different receivers that have performed amazingly well in the last 12 months. I tried turning off each GNSS constellation to see if that made a difference and I tried turning off one SV at a time to see if that made a difference. Nothing seemed to work. I also contacted the equipment rep and we went over all settings and he suggested I check firmware which we did. This problem exists on two separate systems working in two different areas about 30 miles apart. We even traded equipment one day, and the problems still existed. I have checked the Nanu reports and one sat was unusable till the 27th but we had the same problems after that. I am hoping this clears up but I am concerned.

Central Poland | Other | USEr: About halfway through the flight the number of satellites seen by the sonde started dropping. When it got to 6, it started giving timestamp errors. It then started sending out invalid GPS coordinates ie. coordinates in Belarus and altitude below sea level. This same thing happened with another meteosonde a few 100km south in Slovakia a couple of minutes later. After a few minutes of showing coordinates over Belarus and impossible altitude, the satellite count went up and normal coordinates resumed. I believe this is not a sonde malfunction since it happened with two different, independent sondes at the same time, hundreds of km apart. Other telemetry from the sondes were normal.

Approaches to Tripoli, Lebanon | Marine | User: One of our company managed vessels, at the time of her approach to the port of Tripoli, Lebanon, experienced erratic behaviour on her various navigation equipment. Both the GPS installed onboard lost satellite signals. The gyro compass started showing an error of around 14 degrees. The vessel route on the ECDIS disappeared, the ECDIS started giving numerous alarms, and the tracked positions on ECDIS, as received from GPS feed, started jumping in all directions. All the equipment stabilized as soon as the vessel entered port limits, but similar erratic behaviour of the navigation equipment was observed during the vessel departure.

Eastern Mediterranean | Marine | GPS jamming begins, affecting both GPS units. Our position was @ 36-06N, 016-58E, and we were on a course of 100 T, with a speed of 17.8 kts. The GPS receivers had @ 8 satellites in view, but the Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) of all satellites changed continuously from 0 to less than 30 for all satellites. Both GPS receivers were alarming, indicating a “loss of signal.” I switched GPS #2 to primary, because it also receives position data from GLONASS. This allowed our ECDIS to continue to function. The jamming was solid for 8 minutes.

Powell, TN 37849 | Transportation | USER: In Powell,TN, zip code 37849. For years, GPS has routed truckers onto E.Raccoon Valley Road from Old Raccoon Valley Road as a shortcut to Norris Freeway, state road 441. First, it is not a significant shortcut; only a few seconds difference if they had maintained their original heading. Second, and most importantly, when they try to turn south onto Norris Freeway from E.Raccoon Valley the result is always the same. The truck ends up blocking both lanes of traffic because it cannot make the turn and the trailer is sitting on its parking legs due to the elevation. The truck always has to be towed out of this position, blocking traffic for a couple of hours and because it is the midpoint of a fairly sharp curve, this is an accident waiting to happen. I’m requesting your help in getting this routing error changed. Thank you. NAVCEN: NAVCEN provided the website information to GPS.gov for mapping issues. Also contacted the Knox County Public Works for further investigation to determine alternate safety precautions. |

Launched the drone, and it did not go to where I designated it to go and was appearing to want to fly away. Landed the drone and retried the mission with the same results. Drone acted like it did not know where it was. Drone equipped with onboard GPS capable of tracking both GPS and GLONASS SV. I also wanted to survey some points on the ground for reference for the mapping I was doing. I was using Survey Grade GPS receiver. I could see on the data collector that controls the receiver that I had at least 10 - 12 satellites visible, however, it was only locking on to 5.

Southern Gulf of Suez | Marine | User: My guess is that we experienced GPS jamming. In March 2020, while in the ASRY shipyard, the Fairfax had two new GPS receivers installed; one Furuno, and one SAAB. The SAAB model receives both GPS and Glonass position signals, and sends both to the ECDIS. These positions are usually within 3 to 10 meters of each other - very accurate. Because we have experienced GPS jamming on this vessel, several times before, in Port Said and in the Suez Canal, we proactively made the SAAB GPS/Glonass receiver the Primary ECDIS position sensor, to help defeat any GPS jamming. It worked -- we never received alarms, or lost our ECDIS picture. Since the AIS has its own stand-alone GPS receiver, it makes sense that we would lose all AIS data during a GPS jamming event. The momentary loss of radar video could be explained as the ECDIS lost the GPS data, and switched to the Glonass position. Again, this is my own guess. If the problem had continued, I could have made the Furuno GPS the primary sensor, to see if we would experience the full experience of GPS jamming problems. I did not think of doing this until later, well after the problems disappeared.

Port Said, Egypt | Marine | User: Vessel is equipped with two identical GPS receivers. Both GPS units encountered intermittent disruption simultaneously. The disruption was first encountered briefly in Eastern-Mediterranean Sea off Greece. Disruptions were again encountered with increased frequency and effect when our vessel approached the port of Port Said, Egypt. Each disruption caused partial to complete loss of signals for a period of 1 to 2 minutes. HDOP levels were observed to be in the range of 6. Restoration of signals were as abrupt as the disruption. The disruptions continued with lesser frequency as vessel progressed through the Suez Canal. About 45 nautical miles inside the Suez Canal from the Northern Entrance, disruptions ceased completely and since then both the GPS units have been functioning normally. A Navtex message (message number OA89. NTM 038/20) from Malta Radio dated 29th Aug 2020 warned mariners regarding "Harmful Interference to the GPS and GNSS".

But every other week, more precisely every other Friday (every 14 days) it happens that between 01:25 pm and 01:35 pm some shift in the GPS signal happens since our 4 modulators with four different antennas present a type of failure. The 4 antennas are located in the same place.
A few minutes ago the failure occurred and is systematic. Do you make any automatic adjustments during those hours?

Dulles Airport | Automobile | USER: This occurred in Chantilly, VA around 4pm EST. I was on Rt. 50 heading East near Avion Pkwy close to Dulles Airport. The GPS navigation in my vehicle stopped working. When I looked for more information in the GPS it displayed no bars for a GPS satellite signal. This outage continued until the end of my trip in Reston, VA.

CABA | Other | User: When the equipment tries to establish a GPS link, when it reaches 80%, the controller indicates "Calibration Error In The Compass, See Another Place or Calibrate It Again", if you try to recalibrate the compass the screen indicates " Do Not Know You Can Calibrate The Compass Without GPS" and this is a vicious circle regardless of where you try to perform the operation.

Port of Shanghai | Marine | User: Upon arriving to dock in Shanghai, a U.S. flagged MV master checked ECDIS at the AIS to see if their berth was clear. Another ship on the berth appeared to be in the channel making 7 knots (kts) speed over ground (SOG), but then disappeared from AIS. A few minutes later she was back and at the dock, then underway again, 5 kts, 2 kts, 0 kts, in the channel, then back at the dock, then gone. This pattern repeated multiple times. It turned out the other ship was actually all fast the entire time. Later, while the MV was turning in the river off the same berth, both GPS units lost their signals, no position, no SOG, multiple alarms on various integrated equipment. The GPS signal would come back for a minute and then be lost again. This continued to the dock and has continued. The GMDSS GPS is experiencing the same thing. Master suspects GPS signal jamming is occurring at this berth. Vessel checked all antennae connections – all connections are secured and dry. There have been no other issues with these units.

Madrid | User: I have detected that GPS SVN49 (IIRM7) has been broadcasting an BPSK signal modulated with alternating 0 and 1 at the L1 frequency. The signal is clearly visible on a spectrum analyzer as two peaks at 511.5kHz from the L1 centre frequency, whenever SVN49 is in view.
This has been ongoing over the last few days and continues.
I have read that this satellite was decommissioned in 2011, so I wanted to ask if this is normal (I just noticed its signal by chance during some unrelated tests), if it is due to some tests with the satellite or if its an anomaly.
NAVCEN: To confirm this is not a problem with the GPS broadcast signals, NAVCEN contacted the GPS Operations Center who stated the signal you detected represents the current nominal status for SVN49. SVN49 exhibits a known distortion due to internal multipath resulting in degraded performance. It is currently set in an "unhealthy" state and removed from the constellation to prevent any adverse effects on users. The description of the signal resembles the non-standard code the satellite will display when not in use for other testing purposes. |

Oklahoma | Transportation | User: Equipment on railroad locomotives is showing diminished position accuracy. Since June 2 across a fleet of several thousand locomotives in the US the positional accuracy is decreasing. This decrease is documented by lower average # of satellites received and higher HDOP values reported by the receiver. An alarm is generated by our system when the HDOP reported by the receiver in the GPGGA message stays above 2 for 10 minutes or more. While admittedly not completely accurate, this makes a convenient marker for diminished accuracy. This alarm was generated by 6 trains in Oklahoma June 2nd but has been seen from the east coast to the west coast in the days since. A similar by possibly not related issue occurred in the Midwest December 7 of 2018 with roughly 500 trains generating this error over the day. The alarms did not repeat until June 2nd. Previously this alarm was not seen in 2016-2018. In addition, the system can mark when the train passes certain surveyed locations along the track like a wayside signal. If the GPS location of the train is not within a certain distance from the surveyed location when passed, then another alarm is generated. This alarm was raised less than 5 times in the first 4 months of 2019 but has been raised 15-20 times in June so far. This appears to be another indication that the accuracy of the position fix has diminished. There have been no changes to the GPS receiver firmware in the last 2 – 3 years. We have been unable to correlate this diminished accuracy to reported satellite outages. Further information in graphical or spreadsheet format is available.

Lancaster, CA | Other | Synopsis: 4 [equipment] were powered on between approximately 2030Z and 2100Z on 17 May 2019 in Bakersfield, CA. They were then flown aboard private aircraft enroute to Laughlin, NV. Despite being in what should have been a "hot start" mode, none achieved a GPS fix until 2200Z. Of particular note, three of the units achieved lock within 30 seconds of each other, despite being separated geographically by almost 100 miles. This seemed to suggest an external factor may have been involved.
Detail: Five [equipment] units (SiRF Star III chipset) were used to log positions of aircraft participating in an air rally event. Note the [equipment] is a retail data logging "puck" being used in the aircraft for supplemental logging, not an air navigation application. The units log NMEA GPGGA sentences at 1 second intervals when a fix is available, but do not include the satellite count.
Participating aircraft flew from Hayward, CA (HWD) to Bakersfield, CA (BFL) to Laughlin, NV (IFP).
Units were powered on prior to takeoff and turned off after landing. During the first leg from HWD to BFL, all units operated properly on board the participating aircraft.
During the second leg, from BFL to IFP, four units were powered on between approximately 2030Z and 2100Z in Bakersfield, CA. Despite being in what should have been a "hot start" mode, none achieved a GPS fix until 2200Z. The powerup time and time and position of first fix for the units were as follows:
Powered at 2100Z ; fix at 220019Z N34-48 W116-58 near Barstow, CA
Powered at 2045Z ; fix at 220025Z N35-16 W116-07 near Baker, CA
Powered at 2104Z ; fix at 220048Z N34-41 W117-24 near Victorville, CA
Powered at 2026Z ; fix at 221536Z N34-53 W115-11 near Goffs, CA
The fact that three units achieved a fix within 30 seconds of each other, while being separated geographically, and with varying (and excessive) times since startup, seemed unusual. The aircraft were all at an altitude of approximately 7000feet MSL.
A fifth [equipment] was mistakenly left powered up throughout the ground stop at BFL, and logged a complete track. No other GPS anomalies were reported by participants. A [different model GPS unit] that was powered up at Bakersfield in the same timeframe acquired a fix immediately.
I am aware that GPS interference testing was being conducted at Twentynine Palms that day (Flight Advisory 29PALMS 19-01), with the affected area encompassing the entire route of flight from Bakersfield to Laughlin. However, the testing was scheduled to be completed at 1300Z.
While this issue is likely to be a manufacturer specific glitch, I am reporting it to see if any external factors may have been involved.

Apart from losing a reliable position, I also lose the ability to lock the yacht to a predetermined route, and more importantly, collision alerting through my AIS B transponder and [software]. If I cannot broadcast my position, then the system ceases to function. This is a major concern as I sail single handed to Israel, the Lebanon, and to Turkey. AIS is my primary watch method when I inevitably have to rest. The outage is always confirmed through 3 receivers plus my GPS [mobile phone] app which is very useful in proving that this is not an equipment malfunction, but genuine interference or jamming. Other yachts at Larnaca also confirm the problem.
I took a video of the satellite status page on my [manufacturer] GPS which I can send you once I have the correct email address to send it to. This summer I have not made any long trips so far, so I am unable to establish the area affected. Thank you for your concern. This has to be stopped before someone has an accident.

Abilene, TX | Surveying | User: On 4/15/19 - We were calibrating our GPS equipment used to perform highway construction when we began having issues with the accuracy of the GPS. We considered this to be a calibration/file issue and ran multiple troubleshooting protocols to fix the issue, however, after many attempts to correct the problem we were unsuccessful and headed home for the night. 4/16/19 - We began working again the morning of the 16th to resolve the lingering issue. After setting up our GPS equipment the number of satellites began to drop until eventually our equipment was not tracking any satellites. We are in the vicinity of an aiport and an Air Force base. Prior to this incident we were using a different frequency equipment which we found was supposed to have issues with the frequencies being used at the AFB/Aiport. We changed our equipment to run on 900 mhz frequency to avoid any interference and the equipment was running as it should. Then we began having issues as listed above. We have had a certified troubleshooter of equipment on site and they are in agreement that there is some type of interference or jamming occurring.

It appears GPS almanac changes were applied the day before affecting some GNSS equipment before the GPS WNRO. We were not prepared for the GPS WNRO prior to April 6th. Now we must hope that actual GPS week number rollover event will fix the situation. What changed and when did the changes happen?
NAVCEN: The U.S. Air Force points to Interface Specification IS-GPS-200, paragraph 20.3.3.5.2.2, Almanac Reference Time, which states: "The almanac reference time, t(oa), is some some multiple of 2(12) seconds occurring approximately 70 hours after the first valid transmission time for this almanac data set (reference 20.3.4.5). The almanac is updated often enough to ensure that GPS time, t, shall differ from t(oa) by less than 3.5 days during the transmission period."

Global | Surveying | User: Thanks to Navigation and Timing Monitoring Facility. Since the begining of February we received several NANU reporting unscheduled outages of a few minutes for some GPS satellites. NANU 2019020, 2019026, 2019085, 2019086, 2019091, 2019093, and 2019095. For each NANU we analyzed rinex navigation and measurement files from stations in visibility of the satellites. In every case the satellites were healthy according to their broadcast ephemeris data. We never saw any measurement gap bias or drift that could be linked to a clock problem and we could not see any power drop. When the satellites were monitored by a SBAS we did not see any problem with the satellites. Could you confirm the nature of the outage and the impact on the receivers? We would like to know our receivers behaved. As for the SBAS it is important to know if they have sent correct information. SBAS users could have used the satellites despite the outages and it could have led to a potentially hazardous situation. If you need additional information concerning our analysis please feel free to contact us. NAVCEN: The GPS Operations Center reviewed the GPS Constellation and Control Segment and determined it to be healthy, stable and robust during that time. It continues to provide precise positioning navigation and timing information to military and civilian users around the world. NANU in question were sent as a precautionary measure. Information that was received from these satellites was still accurate. |

Moving forward, the GPS Master Control Station will work to ensure the NANU more closely tracks the exact time the SVs are set UNHEALTHY to avoid misconceptions.

Washington State | Timing | User: Ongoing GPS failures since December 2017 at several sites. Was curious if other entities have reported outages in this area. Running redundant receivers and antennas at equipment sites. Technicians report different manufacturer equipment would fail at different times of the day. One timing receiver is experiencing more failures. Equipment alarms and requires manual reset to lock back on to GPS signal. Just really hard for me to think it is an equipment problem while three of them at different locations are doing this same thing.
NAVCEN: Equipment alarm records provided by the reporting source indicate similar errors across several timing units used by the reporting source and appear to be typical for this equipment. Errors were momentary (less than one second) with an average of approximately 90 momentary errors per site over the course of a year. Some equipment initiated more alarms, but there seemed to be no correlation between times, locations, or types of alarms. Redundant antenna and receiver systems did not alarm at the same time. The reporting source contacted their equipment manufacturer who identified a firmware issue. Reporting source now believes the problems are equipment issues and will provide more information if it becomes available.

Raleigh-Durham, NC | Surveying | User: The unit has ceased to display valid date and time information and reverted to the year 1999 without a reliable calendar day or clock time. This affects time/date of lunar and solar positions that were used for estimating positioning and also other conveniences such as sunset/sunrise. The date and time can be obtained from other sources that the handheld GPS easily. I contacted the manufacturer who denied any manufacturing defects and could not offer a solution except to obtain another device at my expense (out of warranty for several years). This is only reported for general information or recall, no response or solution is necessary unless there is a widespread recall or other issue that I am not aware of. Thru the last weeks even though the time/date was off the two dimensional lat/long have proven precise and the elevation above sea level continues to experience fluctuations as previously reported.(date/time of problem onset is estimated)

Jeddah Port, Saudi Arabia | Marine | User: We lost the GPS Signal on all nodes while we are approaching the Jeddah Port today 15/10/2018, 0530z. Checked with the out bound vessels and they too does not have GPS Signals. Believed it has been jammed. Had confirmed with the departure ship [vessel] that they too have the same problem, but they received the GPS Signal once they are about 8 miles from the Port. Had checked with incoming ship [vessel] that they too lost the signals once reached the approaching area. Based on these two facts, conclusion is that it is localised to this port area only. When our Vessel is cleared of Jeddah Port and 7 miles away, GPS signal is back on all GPS receivers, GMDSS, SSAS,FBB etc,. Same as other ships have shared the information earlier. Best regards, Captain. Thank you.

Jeddah Port, Saudi Arabia | Marine | User: Before Departure from port of Jeddah Saudi Arabia in Red Sea both GPS were found out of order. There seemed to be GPS signal interference resulting in loss of signal, missing COG / SOG and absence of GPS signals affecting bridge navigation and other communication equipment. GPS screen showing no available satellites in the vicinity, no Lat/Long could be obtained. GPSs restarted - no effect. Pilot advised that tugs reported absence of GPS signal as well. After vessel was cast off situation remained unchanged so own position was obtained by visual and radar observations and frequently plotted in ECDIS as manual fix position. ECDIS was turned to Dead Reckoning mode. Approximately 10 nm away from port area both GPS recovered the signal. After calling few nearby vessels by VHF found out that GPS signal loss problem was common in this area. Also experienced that on private smartphones (verified by Master and 2/Off) it was impossible to obtain GPS position, the signal was not available.

York, PA | Other | User: My cell phone GPS does not function properly. I have gotten a new phone from the manufacturer which did not solve the problem. I have been speaking with my service provider and they are informing me that it is not a service issue but rather "my signal is being sent to the wrong satellite" and that they were unable to help me. They provided me with this link to file a report. I have used several different GPS apps, none of which work properly. Even when I am stationary these applications have difficulty finding my exact location and instead cast a large circle around my relative location. This has been going on for several months. It seems to be worse in more densely populated areas though it does not function well anywhere. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

AT SEA, POST DEP PORT SAID, Egypt | Marine | User: Master deemed it necessary to send it as non-routine under "any other potential, including potential problems" as the matter concerns vessels primary navigational system. Note that vessel had experienced problems with both GPS units of "no signal, alarm 001" since the night of 21st mar 2018. The problem of "no signal, alarm 001" was experienced on both GPSs just after departing from Suez Canal, Port Said side, on 21st Mar 2018. The problem was very frequently experienced in 3/O & 2/O watches. Then intermittently in C/Os watch going into the morning 22nd Mar 2018. Pls note that we had called at least 4 ships in our vicinity and they all confirmed the same problem with their GPSs, though with varying frequencies. This of-course has had an effect on the ECDIS. When the signals were lost, the courses went haywire. ARPAs was also effected, positions were not showing up.

Southern Tasmania | Marine | User: Numerous high HDOP errors frequently occurring over previous 3 months. Our unit is set to alarm at HDOP>2.0, and the alarm has been sounding numerous times each day. Vessel operating in southern Tasmania region, within a 200 mile radius of the position given above. Occasional very high spike into HDOP>30, and 2 occurrences >100, with subsequent position shift of around 200 metres noticed on ECDIS. Backup GPS receiver also shows occasional high DOP error (not split into HDOP and VDOP), but not as high as main unit. Is this likely to be a receiver fault?

Breckenridge, CO | Automobile | USER: I was hoping to find out what GPS satellite was assigned to my vehicle for GPS. Has it been decommissioned or not updated? I cannot get any satisfaction from dealer. Confusing because I still have compass function and time, but date will always correspond to day and date in 2015. Seems it has not been updated since then and I am frustrated by that. NAVCEN: There is no activity in the GPS constellation of satellites that could be causing the problem indicated. GPS equipment is not assigned a specific satellite. Rather the equipment will track all satellites in view, usually 8-12 of them depending on location. However, given this type of date time problem and the subsequent failure of your equipment, there is a high probability that your equipment was affected by the 2019 GPS rollover event. If your equipment is showing a date other than todays date, this is a problem with how your equipment is handling the updated GPS week number value. We recommend you ensure your equipment software is up to date, refer to your equipment manual, update your application, or contact your application developer or equipment manufacturer for assistance. We recommend all users share these reports with their application developer or equipment manufacturer. This real world feedback can help developers and manufacturers improve their products.

New York City, New York | Timing | User: We have two receivers using separate antennas located on the west side of the building. The loss of timing happens ~4 minutes earlier every day. Problem started on 2 Dec at 1402 Eastern and last interruption was 30 Dec 1210 Eastern. Only recently started to log sats but it seems to happen when sat 12 is starting to be used by the receiver. This setup has been in use for >5 years with out coverage issue so I dont think that is the problem. We stay locked with 3 sats in view and this problem occurs with more than 3 sats. Confirmed there is no in band RF interference. We would appreciate any information since we are at a loss as what to do to remedy or mitigate this issue.

Hsinchu, China | User: Dear Sir, Recently the 2 MSBs of IODC has been set to non-zero value, which is different from the zero value that has been in use for more than 10 years before. Although our engineers tried to be very careful in preparation of ROM code release for GPS chipset implementation, checking various test scenarios using GPS simulator, we still missed an issue in applying the 2 MSBs of IODC. This and recent change of those 2 MSBs becoming non-zero value caused about 2 million units of GPS receivers worldwide that worked perfectly for many years now suddenly have potential problem of unable to get position fix, we are beginning to get many customer problem reports coming in this week. May I ask if this IODC parameter will be set to a number < 256 again? And could the two MSBs of IODC be set to zero again as soon as possible please? Thank you very much.

The unit cannot get basic information for first fix. They are installed worldwide in remote stations. Manufacturer of [manufacturer] reported the signal from GPS is no longer compatibile with these units, the units cannot be updated because the firmware is not accessible. We do not know the exact date of signal change, approximately the problem started in a time window between Mid August 2016 and 25 September 2016. Although this problem is generating costs to our company in terms or workaround and replacement of parts, there are many instrument that cannot be accessed easily and this will cause a interruption of services for the public interest.

Dallas, TX | Research | User: Starting last Friday, 22nd we noticed that the two high bits of the 10 bit IODC became non-zero. With all space vehicles as far as we can tell being non-zero by this Sunday. This is causing an ephemerides decding issue in our firmware preventing correct download of this data.

Worldwide | Automobile | User: It appears that the Subframe-2 IODC message two MSBs have changed from 0 to a non-zero value for the first time in the last 10 years in some or many GPS Sats. This is causing potentially 100s of thousands of [manufacturer] receivers to stop generating GPS fixes for some reason. When will the two MSBs of the IODC parameter be set back to zero again?

South Korea | Timing | User: one of our customers claim that their GPS swap time at UTC 2200 to UTC 2400 and have done so multiple of times. This unit is placed close to the north boarder. Technical engineers are now traveling to the unit so that we can get more details on what is wrong with the installation. The second case is about the Olympic games which will be in Soul next year, summer. I have been asked if I can keep the sync for the broadcast system even if GPS is gone. The new IP based Digital TV system need GPS or IEEE 1588 to work well so we need a stable sync to get the digital information forward. So my question to you is: Do you know if the US has an alarm system in this area for GPS disturbance? Who can we contact and ask for alarms? Please support us!

Turin, Italy | Research | User: Since 17/05/2017 GNSS signal at frequency L1=1575.42 MHz have been affected during the local afternoon hours, by spurious continuos wave signals. The main components of the spurious signal are at an offset of 0.5 MHz on both sides of L1. Further harmonics with lower power are also present. The investigation excluded that such interfering signal could be generated by local terrestrial sources, since it has been measured at several Km from the antenna with the same power level. Having observed a 24h repetition of the phenomena, the interference might be a case of intrasystem interference generated by GPS satellite with PRN 26 which was in view at the monitoring location for the 3 days during which the interference has been observed. The signal has been observed through our software receivers and by means of spectrum analyzers.

NAVCEN: 5 January 2017 the Civil GPS Service Interface Committee Executive Secretariat release the following message: Beginning 25 January 2017, Air Force Space Command (AFSPC) will conduct a limited duration test implementing an increase of the L1 C/A power level on the GPS Block IIR-M and IIF satellites (19 vehicles). The C/A power will remain within IS-GPS-200-H specifications and the power increase is not expected to increase the noise floor by more than 0.3 signal-to-noise ratio in the worst case. AFSPC reports, "We assess that there will be no adverse impacts to civil, commercial or military GPS users, but anyone who experiences issues during this test should address them through established reporting channels." Civil, non-aviation, GPS users should contact the U.S. Coast Guard Navigation Center at 703-313-5900 or online at http://www.navcen.uscg.gov/?pageName=gpsUserInput. Civil aviation GPS users should contact the FAA and file a report at https://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/nas/gps_reports/. All other nonoperational concerns or inquiries regarding this test should be directed to Air Force Space Command at a3sm.wf@us.af.mil. |
