Upon departure from airport 47N; I noticed my GPS position shifted to a position north of the field even though I was tracking south followed by a fault indication... I suspected possible interference or spoofing or an issue with GPS unit itself as I have experienced this in the past and had to troubleshoot the issue with my avionics shop and manufacturer on numerous occasions so I immediately restarted my GPS unit in the aircraft.  As I continued to track south and my unit was resetting I noticed WRI airport just south of us and immediately turned right and initiated climb to try to avoid their airspace.  I then immediately contacted WRI for flight following and was advised I did indeed fly into the norther portion of their airspace.. This was completely unintentional and was the result of an equipment failure...
Small Twin Engine aircraft Single Pilot reported possible GPS jamming or equipment failure near WRI airport. The pilot stated the situation contributed to an airspace violation.
