No, it’s not like the internet where you can just turn it off. GPS modules use the 3 major bands (2 at least) in case of failure so you would have to create a localized EMF field to block the radio of a UAV. Turning off GPS will not deter a drone that has a commercial grade or better GPS module.
You are correct that most (all?) the “GPS” modules used for drones would fallback to one or more of the above alternatives to GPS.

- reactordev 3y agoRight, which is why I said it wouldn’t make a difference as the drones GPS modules would just switch to one of the ones you listed.
