Observed traffic on GPS unit as it descended to the same altitude and closed distance; but could not obtain visual. Received collision alert on GPS unit. Attempted to deviate left of course to allow overtaking jet to pass on the right. Received second alert as jet appeared to be at the same position. Observed jet as it passed on the left a few hundred feet away at the same altitude.
