Garmin NUVI 250 (by 2 users)

Needless to say, the manual included with the NUVI 250 unit sucks . .. er . . .I mean is totally inadequate.   The sparse 16 pages fail to mention things like what kind of memory stick it uses; how to download photos, charging time, etc. etc.
I'm sure it is a great unit . . . if it only had some instructions  to go with it!  In desperation I went back to Fry's in an effort to find further help and made the HUGE mistake of buying the ONLY other help source I found which was Produced by Bennett Marine.  It was less helpful and less complete than the manual: A primitive production at best - and for background music (I am not making this up) a poorly played rendition of "Rockaby Baby"!!!
I would like to take full advantage on my new Garmin 250 - know ALL of its potential (including loading some of my photographs etc.).
Here, then, is my question,  Does Garmin produce such a manual or DVD or have a website to help me?  If not, does anyone?  If so who?
And before I leave you, let me tell you what else sucks.  In trying to contact your company by phone I was informed  ( after all the " If you want to blah blah blah] . . . dial 1)  I was informed that there would (if I cared to hold) be a 20 minute  wait time.
PLEASE HELP . . . either respond by e-mail:  docflagg@earthlink.net  
or give me a call at: 281-440-6550 - I'm in central time too.
Thanks
