A GPS can also be jammed with a DME tuned to a specific frequency which has a harmonic on the GPS frequency. There is some material on the www about this.

Another reason for having a plane with a rooftop GPS aerial, and preferably a metal roof, or (if composite) mounting the GPS aerial on a metallic surface. Plus of course very good shielded cabling on both the DME and the GPS...
