FWIW, I would not recommend King GPS.  I have both the
KLN 89B and a KLX 136A (GPS/COM).  The mfgr has designed a nasty little surprise into both units.  The internal memory  is powered by a small 3-volt battery which is soldered thru a double-sided Printed Wining board.  The battery can only be replaced by a certified King Avionics shop.  Each battery costs  $ 200 to replace plus a trip to the King Dealer.

Both of my units required a battery replacement prior to first flight.   BUMMER
