Squawk is right. GPS assisted collisions are a real danger if you use catalogued man made features as waypoints. I’ve been saved by hemispheric altitudes more than once. I now always offset by a random distance, never exactly one mile either. My instructors years ago criticised this, calling it, “wandering all over the sky”.
