From 911Encyclopedia:
In May 2002, some US papers promoted the idea, that Atta,Mohammad might have used a small GPS device to crash the plane into the Twin Towers. The device, which was described, i.e. in the New York Post, points to the handheld Garmin GPS II o III, which can provide resolutions down to 1 metre, with a positional error down to 4m. The paper claimed, that Atta did a test in New York before Sep11th. However, due to FBI investigations, Atta was the last time in New York City "in June 2000, when he stayed in Park Slope, Brooklyn". From an indictment at the Moussaoui (->) trial it was reported, that "on or about August 22, 2001, in Miami, Florida, Ziad Jarrah (#93) purchased an antenna for a Global Positioning System ("GPS"), other GPS related equipment, and schematics for 757 cockpit instrument diagrams."
