Explore the myths and stereotypes surrounding GPS jammers(0)

GPS blockers are akin to the mysterious Bermuda Triangle, leading to a plethora of mysteries and confusions. Are these blockers legitimate, precise, and secure? These strange queries left people bewildered.

The majority of field service representatives are well-informed about the regulations and penalties associated with the utilization of GPS interceptor applications to tamper with their location or create inaccurate driving logs. A few delivery drivers are resorting to GPS blockers without taking into account the legal ramifications. Who is morally correct in this scenario?

GPS jammers are physical tools that intentionally disrupt GPS signals, causing interference with precise location tracking and navigation. These devices emit RF signals that can overpower genuine GPS signals in their operational range, causing inaccuracies or interruptions.

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 signal jamming device 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.
