Go to the Magellan HSOforum and download a manual for it. You have the basic Meridian, not a Meridian Gold or Platinum, just the plain old Magellan Meridian. It's a good unit for getting around in the woods - won't take chips, but has a good compass and directional trip functions that are fun to use in your car.

Cheap fun way to get started in GPSing. You'll have to learn how to use the functions and everything, but it'll be worth it as you move into more involved units like the Lowance iFinder series, or the bigger marine units that run the Lakemaster or Navionics chips.
