As OP hasn't replied yet, I'll take the liberty. The biggest issue is interference (jamming) by malicious actors. This is especially common in the eastern Mediterranean [1]. Earlier this year there have also been reports of interference on Finland's border with Russia [2].

Of course one could imagine other scenarios where GPS might become inaccurate or unavailable on a larger scale, such as an attack on the satellites themselves.

(my guess is that _moof is a navigator with experience in the eastern med sea)

I wanted to dim the chart plotter. I turned it off: was the same button, required a push of a different length. If I wasn't aware of where my bow was pointed and what I was trying to do at the time, it would have been a big problem, particularly in traffic. But because I knew where I was and what I was doing I was able to continue to sail and turn everything back on.
