Such as the GPS on the pad being teleported randomly a short distance, which is quite enough to place it in a out of sight wall cluster or, more commonly, in space.
The way I do it, I only put a GPS on the pad when the computer tells me that the coordinates I am sending to (sending is completely safe if the shutters are closed) are not invalid. The only way I can lose a GPS then is if the formula changes, and as I said that never seems to happen anymore if you don't input any invalid coordinates.
