If you find the bandwidth the GPS is using, you can stomp it out from right inside the vehicle. I used to have a real problem with a comm radio which would stomp out the whole panel when the microphone was keyed. GPS, LORAN(C), ADF, and VOR/Localizers would just go haywire. When things got busy in the cockpit on occasion I hated a busy radio because it took about fifteen seconds for all the Navigation devices to come back to normal after each transmission.

There had to be a wiring error there somewhere; the only way I've seen that RF can affect all those devices simultaneously is when the coax wasn't firmly in the comm radio and RF was seen/present *in* the cockpit ... broken shield, improper connector installation ...
