The recent database update to Bendix-King IFR GPS' had INVALID information in it. Because of this, they may NOT be used for certain phases of IFR flight (pretty much everything but enroute is kerput) until they are updated with correct data - which is available for download. If you get cards sent to you, contact B/K for an idea of when you'll get a replacement.
Edit - This has also been posted in Flight Following. I didn't find it when doing a search, so it's duplicated here.
From FAASafety.gov:
The FAA has been made aware of an issue with an update to a navigation database that became effective on 14 January 2010. To date, the known affected models are: Honeywell Bendix/King KLN 35, KLN 88, KLN 89, KLN 89B, KLN 90, KLN 90B, KLN 94, KLX 100, KLX 135, KLX 135A, KLN 900.
