Narrative:
New avionics (garmin 750) incorrectly showed boundaries of san francisco class B. I descended to 6000 foot to be below outer sector floor. By time I double checked (ipad) I was near the 4000 foot floor sector and descending rapidly. I may have been slightly above 4000 feet after entering the 4000 foot floor sector. When ATC advised me of the problem; I was already in a rapid descent.
