A320...GPS Altitude Vs Altimeter Altitude

Hello...

i have noticed during flights that the GPS altitude is always higher than the maintained Flight Level...

i have seen it last time while we were at FL360 ...the GPS alt was 37650 feet.

i was trying to look for it the books but could not find the required info about it .

what is the base for this altitude...see level/ground level ?

i am confused about this issue...

in FCOM 4 it says GPS altitude displayed for information purposes !

appreciate any light shedding on this.

thanks in advance.
