I'm currently in Lebanon. My inReach shows a location in Jordan, when using waypoint ou sending message. It happens in a large area, and with other GPS device. Any solution?

This might be military gps jamming and if so, you can’t do anything about it.

Thanks. That was my first guess... Do you think pairing with smartphone would help?

Sounds like GPS jamming or spoofing to me. Especially if other devices show the same behavior, and with what is happing in the Middle East…

If it is GPS jamming or spoofing there not really anything you can do…

No not really, the Mini 2 doesn’t use the location information of the connected phone. And the phone would be impacted by GPS jamming as well, maybe less because it also has other ways to determine your location, but still.

Yes, saw this for a flight in the Black Sea area. Unfortunately, this is normal in war/combat zones.
