I find Standard Horizon's manuals to be really comprehensive. I suppose a quick start guide would be nice, but I think you'll find that the "on/off", "zoom" and "clear" buttons will do pretty much everything you need to do, during the day.

Play with all the menu options when you have a chance. There's a lot the thing can do.

On my 155C, the on/off doubles as the display brightness button. Simply press it for less than a second and when released, you will be in a menu for changing the display brightness. It's handy at night since even the "night mode" can be too bright.

I don't have a Bizer chip. I have a C-Map Max Megawide chip that covers The coast from the Bay of Fundy to Barnegat Bay NJ, plus rivers and lakes in the area (including Winni and Squam). It seems to have the Bizer data in it for Winni though. My recollection is that it has all kinds of restaurant and marina data as well. Mine even has photos of bridges and landmarks of interest.
