Don't be affrad to learn the GPS system from trial and error. You can always go back and erase or start over when something goes wrong. I found that when I read the book and applied what I read I didn't remember how to do it the next time whereas when I just figured it out on my own I remembered it better.

The main thing with GPS is to know how far in or out you are zoomed.

You'll figure it out and love it in time. Just play with it on the water and you will find it's easier to figure things out without the book.
