Good grief thats a flimsy excuse. Thought all the current jets had ground GPS to tell them where they were..... https://goo.gl/maps/ResYrtVDQ8x
The charts depict the displaced threshold useable for take-off and the runway is marked with arrows leading to the end of the displacement. Might help if we knew what their taxi clearance was?
Can't rely on GPS. For one thing it can easily be jammed...
