The KLN94 does not have a PC interface for uploading waypoints. None
of the IFR approved GPS units have this function - it is an FAA
requirement that no such function is provided, presumably because the
FAA would then need to certify the PC software used... Micro$oft
Windoze, with all its thousands of bugs.

The best you can get is something like a KMD150 - a nice large panel
mounted GPS, not IFR approved, which has an RS232 port through which
you can load the flight plan, using software such as Navbox.

The KLN94 does have a PC interface for upgrading the firmware, and
some other stuff. But only Honeywell dealers are supposed to have
access to this.
