    Garmin 760 vs 796 (HSI on SYnVis page)

    I have a 796. I had a look at the 760 and didnt see much difference to warrant an upgrade. I did notice that the 760 (like the Ipads) have an HSI on the SynVis page. My 796 does not. Am I doing something wrong or is that not available on the 796 ? Thats something I would like.
