GPS is failing users in Moscow; apps like Pokemon Go and Uber are among those affected

Those near the Kremlin trying to grab a ride via Uber cannot give the ride-sharing service their correct location. Pokemon Go players are having trouble in that area finding and catching Pokemon. Even those running the Moscow Marathon last month said that their jogging apps lost track of where they were, and how far they had run once they started approaching the Kremlin. One marathon runner found that the app he was using had added 25 miles added to the distance he had run. Once again, this took place near the Kremlin.
Dmitry Peskov, a spokesman for Russian President Vladimir Putin, said that he recently experienced the GPS issue himself while driving past the Kremlin. He says that he does not know the reason for the GPS malfunction. While someone in the Russian government might know the exact reason why GPS tracking fails near the Kremlin, it appears to be another secret that the Russian people are kept in the dark about. For now, the drone explanation sounds as good as any.
