I might buy one too, for the toy value, but my mind boggles... what use is a GSM jammer?!

In a city, anyone with a web browser could do geocoding (address -> longitude/latitude) anyway.

Is there some military/criminal application? E.g. to stop automatic targeting or to hinder automatic GPS on cameras from kidnapped people?

I ended up buying it because Saudis bring mobiles into meetings. This would make a 10 minute meeting about an hour and a half long because a senior manager gets and takes a lot of calls, except when I'm in the meeting.

GSM != GPS. A GSM jammer would block phones, e.g. in restaurants, cinemas, business presentations, etc.

Sorry for wasted time. I know I have no simultaneous capacity and shouldn't read/write while distracted. :-(
