GPS navigation is silenced from the Romanian port of Constanta along the entire Bulgarian coast and in the territorial waters of Turkey in the Black Sea. The data was collected from pilots of civilian aircraft who reported a lost connection.

In addition to the Black Sea, there are problems with the GPS signal in regions of Russia and Kazakhstan, in the Baltic States and along the eastern border of Poland. Moscow and Ankara are not covered.
