Explore the myths and stereotypes surrounding GPS jammers

GPS signal jamming device are like the enigmatic Bermuda Triangle, causing a variety of mysteries and misunderstandings. Are these jammers legal, accurate, and safe? These strange questions left people astonished.

Most field service representatives are conscious of the regulations and penalties for utilizing GPS interceptor applications to alter their position or falsify driving logs. A handful of delivery drivers are using GPS blockers without considering the legal implications. Who is ethically right in this dilemma?

GPS jammers are physical devices that maliciously disrupt GPS signals, interfering with precise location tracking and navigation. These tools emit RF signals that can block or overwhelm authentic GPS signals within their designated range, leading to inaccuracies or service disruptions.

8 GPS Jammer errors

💡 GPS jammers are legal to use

GPS jammers are only legally used for personal privacy or security reasons and for navigation systems or emergency services. But there is a limit. However, their use is often illegal in many countries because they can damage critical infrastructure such as navigation systems and emergency services.

💡 Their use is not harmful

Many people believe that GPS jammers only affect a user’s own GPS signal and do not interrupt other people’s signals. But the truth is, they can interfere with GPS signals from multiple nearby users. Ultimately causing potential harm or inconvenience to people nearby.

💡 GPS jammers are for the rich only

– GPS jammers are cheap on sites like eBay. Anyone can buy them for $50. Yes, you don’t have to be rich to get these blockers. Their reasonable price range poses a serious threat to modern vehicles and mobile devices with integrated GPS hardware.

These jammers are easy to buy and install, putting GPS dependent navigation systems at great risk.

💡 It is not illegal to install jamming devices that claim to block only any vehicle’s GPS signal.

– It is illegal to sell or operate any blocking device that interferes with or emits RF signals to block GPS signals in states such as the United States. However, their use is exceptional in cases where the number of government-approved uses is limited.

Given that GPS jammers are deceptive and interfere with navigation and position tracking needs, it’s best not to do the following two things:

• First – don’t believe half-baked facts or myths or assumptions about GPS jammers (without any evidence).
• Second – assume that every fleet management software that provides GPS tracking is accurate and resistant to interceptors.
