It might not be safe, either. IFR GPS's have an extra quality/geometry
"monitoring" algorithm called RAIM that VFR units don't have. It's
possible that you'd be OK, but it's also possible that you won't and
wouldn't know about it.
That said, I've had RAIM alarms on my IFR GPS, where my handheld GPSMAP
195 thought everything was OK, and I could see by looking out the window
that we were exactly where both GPSs thought we were.
