Jerry, I recently faced this same dilemma. After all the good advice I got here from Rich, I went with the 1370T and have already used it in Europe last month.

I do miss the powered mount and I really like the marking feature on the 775, BUT I did not want to have to spend additional money to buy the European maps AND I wanted to be able to load the City Xplorer maps as well as use it in pedestrian mode. I have been extremely well pleased. So much so in fact, my son who went with me on my European trip purchased one for himself. Both of us were upgrading from the Street Pilot series.

Oh, and I have purchased and used the City Xplorer maps for both Washington DC and Paris, and I liked that feature just as much as I hoped I would.

I’d go with the 775T if the powered mount, MP3 player, FM transmitter, (better) Bluetooth, and / or the ability to automatically mark your parking spot are important to you.

The 1370T would be a better choice if you will be using it for mass transit or want a thinner, lighter device in your pocket.

Or you could pick another model and just add European maps to it!

Hope this helps.
