CAMP BLANDING, Fla. — If you drive or fly near Camp Blanding between now and the end of the week, your GPS may not work.

The Federal Aviation Administration is doing GPS testing, which will result in an “unreliable or unavailable GPS signal”.

Drivers and pilots could notice a difference. GPS may not be available within a 259-nautical-mile radius at 40,000 feet above ground level.

That radius shrinks to 41 nautical miles at 50 feet above ground level.

Testing will be conducted daily until March 13, between 9 a.m. and 5:59 p.m.
