If gps jamming becomes an issue, using some anti jamming(using spread spectrum or frequency hopping) transmitter together with few drones over the city to do signal localization isn't the complicated.

Jamming this technology is much harder and usually emits large radio signals which isn't useful if you want to hide.

This is true. If jamming became commonplace, then it's just a matter of following the broadcast.
