Check your GPS for compatibility before you buy—look at the bottom of Product Description. Inside the box is a mini-SD card and an SD card adapter, and one of these needs to fit in your GPS. The mini-SD card fit my Garmin Nuvi 1250.
2-step process: the card provides data about attractions in major cities, and the Sponge Bob voice is downloaded from a website. After inserting the card (no internet access required), when you touch “Where to?” and scroll down to “Extras” the Sponge Bob lists major U.S. cities, you click a city and can select a variety of attractions (shopping, restaurants, kid’s interests, etc). After you click the restaurant, you can touch the address and it will bring up details. If you live in a major city, this is very handy. I was surprised at the detail, I clicked on Medieval Times dinner theater and it even gave the costs, showtimes and description.
Sponge Bob’s voice is downloaded from a website with your GPS connected to your computer (internet access required). The box includes a code number for downloading. I had no problem at all with the download process. After downloading, touch “Tools” on your GPS and touch languages and scroll down to Sponge Bob to have his voice on your GPS. He is quite funny, he says “re-doing things” instead of “recalculating” and makes remarks about wanting to stop for ice cream. A lot of company on car trips!

Was leary of purchasing after reading mixed reviews of downloadability. Sprung the extra $6 bucks for the $25 version thinking maybe the difference (from the $20 version) was that a microdisk was included. Stuck the disk into the Garmin, turned on the Garmin and followed simple directions to upload the destination information. Then logged on to the website and followed simple directions to download Spongebob’s voice. All completed in less than 30 minutes. Very cute (and way less annoying than you think he’d be). I may amend that last comment after our upcoming 18 hour car trip… FYI: Pack instructions say ‘compatible with all nuvi devices, all zumo devices, Streetpilots C550, C580, C7200 and C7500′.

We just came back from a road trip with the family and used the product extensively. It’s awesome. We even found child care while in Florida so that the adults could have some vacation. The voice is hilarious, kids loved it. Lots of little jokes and cues from the show.

I love the voice and it’s nice to have places to go that are family friendly. I recommend this product for families – but I have to admit – I am a big SpongeBob fan myself – he is a riot!

My three kids really loved it. They are all huge Spongebob fans. A friend of the family purchased hers through Amazon and we just had to get when we heard about it. I highly recommend this item for anyone with a family.
