GPS altitude readouts are typically pretty inaccurate. Under ideal conditions, it can be accurate, byt typically it is not. Get your altimeter checked. Should be part of the bi-annual transponder encoder check, anyhow. If it ain't accurate to within at least 200 ft, it ain't legal for VFR, and it is a required instrument.
