I was enroute on an IFR flight when I observed a TFR displayed over our destination airport; delivered via ADS-B into a tablet EFB program. It showed as issued shortly before our flight; after I had gotten away from WiFi sources for the tablet. I queried ATC who said they showed it; but it was south of the destination airport. Looking at the text of the TFR; it showed the TFR as on the 'Chico VOR/DME ZZZ 080 radial at 43.3 DME.' However; the Chico VOR was decommissioned in Phase 1 of the FAA's reduction of VORs [that started a few years ago]. The VOR was located at the field; so the radial and DME should still work without major issues; and manually drawing the fix using the airport/radial/DME showed that the center of the TFR was in fact south of our destination.I reported the incorrect rendering to the company that makes the program; but also hope that this will encourage the creators of TFRs to ensure correct information is used in their production. If decommissioned VORs are used to describe TFRs; could that create issues for programs to render them? This is a good reminder to not trust the pictorial displays we see on EFB programs and built-in GPS's - the text needs to be verified to ensure the location is depicted correctly.
EA50 Captain reported seeing incorrect depiction of TFRs on EFB display.
