War in Ukraine: what to do if GPS is disconnected or incorrectly working during alarms

To spread: During Russian attacks in Ukraine, a failure of GPS satellite navigation may occur, which cause unpleasant problems. The time is knocked down, or does not show geolocation at all, so it is difficult for people to find a way on a map or call a taxi. The focus will tell what to do in such situations. In November 2024, the General Staff of the Armed Forces explained that radio electronic struggle was used during the reflection of air attacks.

In particular, GPS satellite coordinate remedies are used - this technology is called "purfing". Thanks to her rockets and shock drones, such as Shahaned, they think they fly in a completely different place and change the route. "The side effect of this impact is a violation in the exact time system used by mobile phones in automatic time refinement.

In view of this, it is advisable to disconnect the automatic time mode of time in the phone and to keep in mind that during the announcement of air alarm, the accuracy of satellite navigation systems can be disrupted," As a result, the smartphone may show that a person is in Minsk, Kursk or even Africa instead of Kiev. Some mobile phones are set up to automatically determine the time zone by geolocation, so time changes.

First of all, it is better to disconnect the function of automatic time in the phone and put it hand. In the iPhone you need to open the settings, find the "General" menu item, then - "Date and Time" and disconnect the automatic determination of the time zone. In Android, the algorithm is similar, although it may vary depending on the version of the OS or software. In the "Date and Time" block you need to go to "Use Geodan" and move to the inactive position of the slider "Use Geodany".

If there is no such item, the automatic setup of the time zone should be switched off. If the location of the device is displayed in a different place when opening the map, for example, in Russia or Belarus, it is better to turn off the geolocation. The route can still be built by specifying the appropriate addresses of locations. The same applies to a taxi call - you need to install a marker manually or prescribe an address.

If the GPS signal disappears when the air alarm is not declared, then the reason may be a low charge level or a malfunction. Certain films for toning the windows of the car have a metal base that blocks GPS signals. Earlier it was written that China is displacing GPS around the world with its own Beidou navigation system. Beidou currently occupies more than 70% of China's domestic consumer market.

It is expected that by 2028 the number of new terminals and devices compatible with this technology will exceed 400 million units.
