Would my GPS lie to me..?
During Desert Storm, & the "sorties in the thousands", my GPS was often off by hundreds of yards, or more. During the solar flares a few weeks ago, I got a single reading that was off by about 14 miles.
GPS is far more reliable & stable than it's predecessor Loran was. But on occasion, selective availability, spoofers, and natural anomalies can throw it off a bit. Aircraft that rely on GPS for navigation have redundant systems.

stay where you are and when the tide comes IN, your GPS will be right !
On a more serious note, I use Garmin and often check it's accuracy when crossing a railway line as the road and the railway are well established intersecting points. I have found mine to extremely accurate
