GPS Jamming and Location

Spent the weekend in Cyprus and my timeline is full of “Welcome to Cyprus” and “Welcome to Lebanon” messages, followed by the expected “Your trip to Lebanon”.

This is caused by the GPS jamming in the region. Made the post trip summary pointless, and was kinda annoying.

Is it GPS or could it be your mobile signal connecting to another over the water?

They were doing this in London a while ago, Google Maps had no idea where I was

Understood. Hence why I reported it. Not a good outcome though. A possible solution is using actual transactions in the region.
