Not much difference between the previous models that I can see. Better battery life and double the memory, but still using the ridiculous micro USB connector.

You are right, I just watched an unboxing and they pointed out the USB-C interface. The idea it had a micro USB connection came from Garmin site itself where I did a comparison between the 750i and 760i and both were noted as having a "high speed micro USB and NMEA 0183 compatible" interface. But individually the 760i specs say "high-speed micro USB-C" which is confusing.
