I think what he is trying to say, does the aircraft have GPS or does it rely on DME/DME updates? If it updates from DME and an intersection departure is routinely used (without t/o shift input) the position update on the runway could be at the wrong point. If the initial turn occurs before DME updating can take hold, you may be up to 1km out...

If you have GPS fitted, please disregard this point!
