IO540 - the relationship between geopotential altitude (as measured by GPS) and pressure altitude (as measured by an altimeter and use to define airspace) can often be rather greater than 100 feet. I would not rely upon a GPS database to avoid level busts unless you set the tolerances quite large (I have mine set to warn me if within 500ft of CAS).
