I've been told that if one's GPS is an IFR approved unit (KLN94B in my
case) and it's not placarded "VFR only" then I am required to have the
latest database, otherwise I am not complying with the minimum
equipment list (in ANY flight) - is this correct?

I would think that if a database update was required and the unit displayed
an appropriate message wrt the database validity, then that would satisfy
any placard requirement.

Does your aircraft have an MEL?




If so, what would this mean for the validity of insurance?

You'd have to find out from your insurance company.
