GPS is different radio bands but they are very narrow and low power.
I'd be surprised if the cell jammers didn't hurt GPS -- considering
GPS is so week you can't get a fix indoors.

Most cell phones use assisted GPS, where they get a rough location
from the cell towers to help them know what satellites to listen for.
So if it doesn't kill the GPS, it will definitely slow it down.
