It's also got two wires (serial?) for connecting to an autopilot.

And I know that because I downloaded the manual yesterday, almost as soon as
Garmin put it up.

There is a great deal of gloating in that last statement...

Man, I wonder if it will interface with my autopilot. My old King
KLN90B is not that reliable any more. I am wondering if I could chuck
it and get a 396. I don't do GPS approaches, but do use the King to
back up my ILS's and VORs and mostly use it on long trips with the
autopilot.


It has a USB output, that gets kinda cludgy converting to RS232 or
whatever you'd need to drive the AP...
