The only likely reason why a GPS would regularly fail in a particular spot is that the unit is affected by high power radio signals.
Not necessarily. Low power signals from inside your own aircraft could also do the trick, perhaps related to the COM frequency or navaid in use at the time, especially if you have a sucker mounted antenna. This would give the appearance of a geographical base to the fault.
