Garmin 760: Looks and acts like a tablet
It's made only for aviation

the entire country. Enter a flight plan and the terrain page
will provide a color-coded map and profile view showing
elevations along the way.
The waypoint page provides detailed information
(including AOPA Airport Directory data) about airports,
navaids, and services at each facility. The 760 screen shows
IFR arrival, approach, and departure procedures in just
about the exact size as printed pages. But the pinch-zoom
feature and high-resolution screen make even the smallest print readable.
Loading and activating them is a bit different from other
Garmin devices, however, because the Procedures (PROC)
key is absent from the 760. Loading or activating IFR procedures is done on the Flight Plan page, a somewhat more
cumbersome process that requires a few extra keystrokes.
Also, the familiar "activate vectors to final" (VTF) command isn't as prominent as it is on other Garmin GPS units. It's
still there, and as useful as ever, but you've got to hunt for it.

plates and airport diagrams in a highly readable way, and

GARMIN'S NEW AERA 760 looks and feels like a thick iPad Mini
with a seven-inch screen. There's only one button (power),
no knobs, and downloads can come via Wi-Fi, a USB cable,
or a micro SD card. The 760 is much larger, brighter, and easier to manipulate than the company's aera 660. It's similar
in screen size, capability, and cost (about $1,500) to the aera
796. Yet the 760 is thinner, lighter, uses less power, and has a
higher-resolution screen with less reflectivity.
The 760 is a capable standalone navigator, and it gets
even more powerful when linked to other Garmin avionics-particularly the GDL line of ADS-B receivers, which
allow the 760 to show weather, traffic, and attitude information. The 760 also can tie in to SiriusXM Aviation
weather and music.
As soon as the 760 powers up, it shows the ubiquitous
Garmin home screen, just like the company's panel-mount
navigators and the Garmin Pilot app. There are customizable profile, weight and balance, and document pages. But
when linked to Wi-Fi in the FBO lobby, a quick glance at the
map and weather pages shows current conditions across
