ECCO GPS Keychain

Small and stylish

Can't remember where you parked your car? Having trouble finding your hotel? Searching for your tent in a downpour? It's not your day, is it? But don’t despair because the ECCO GPS Keychain is here to show you the way.

This staggeringly small GPS system is set to revolutionise the way you find your way back to…well, wherever it is you started. No more asking strangers for directions only to forget what they said. You won't even have to memorise landmarks or phone your mummy crying in desperation. Or is that just us? Think of it as a hi-tech breadcrumb trail without the breadcrumbs.

How to use the

Lock your location

Get totally lost

Let the GPS guide
you back!

ECCO GPS Keychain

An easy way to find your
tent at Glasto!


Simply 'lock' in your starting location, go do your thing, then follow the ECCO's idiot-proof LCD display. You'll be tucked up before you can say 'I'm sure I turned right at that big tree.' Cooler still, the ECCO will store up to three locations, so you can find your way back to your remote guesthouse via the pub with a quick pit stop at that kebab shop you stumbled across the night before.

ECCO GPS Keychain

Dude, where's my car?


ECCO GPS Keychain

Honey, I'm sure the hotel was here somewhere...

Unlike many cutting-edge GPS devices you don't need a doctorate in cartography to use the ECCO. Just follow the on-screen arrow. It even estimates the distance to your selected destination. And with a tracking range of up to 9,999 miles, even the most intrepid/stupid traveller will have no problem finding their way back to the mother ship.

Despite its diminutive dimensions, the ECCO utilises the very latest GPS technology. Satellite acquisition time is 30-60 seconds max, and it is accurate to within 10m. And if you can't spot your car/tent/buried treasure from that distance, we can only assume you are very thick, very drunk or both.

ECCO GPS Keychain

ECCO GPS Keychain

Can save up to 3 different locations

The ECCO's internal battery recharges via USB, but don't worry about lugging your computer around because the charge lasts for a month on standby and approximately 2 weeks if you use it for ten minutes every day. But let's be honest, if you need to use a personal SatNav device on a daily basis you'd be better off getting your mum to draw a big L and a big R on your shoes. Or staying in and watching Jeremy Vile.

press review "It's hard to get lost with IDC's ECCO on your keyring."
Wired - Nov '09
press review "This simple device has enormous appeal if you have ever lost your car in a car-park or your hotel in a foreign city. Click a button to lock your position (up to three can be stored) and when you want to return, press another button and it points you in the right direction. The battery typically lasts for two weeks per USB charge."
Telegraph - Jul '09
press review "You're out clubbing on holiday and some muscle-bound 'stud' suggests you go back to his. Rather than waking up in the morning and wondering where the hell you are, click the 'lock' button to remember your original location, let the Spaniard take the lead, and come morning, simply follow the directions back to the beginning where you can start all over again."

Visitor Reviews...

visitor avatar Excellent gizmo. You could play long distance hide and seek. Get a friend that lives a distance from you to store a location. Then get them to post the Ecco to you. You can then go on a road trip and try to find the location they stored ( and if they're a real friend, they might even leave you a 'congratulations' prize).
Al, Manchester - Oct '09
visitor avatar Delivered the morning after ordering (as usual), isn't it nice to know you can trust Firebox! Nice size and weight - doesn't feel too small and plasticy, but it's not too heavy or bulky either, very similar to a car remote control lock. It's not clear in the description but when active it's lit up in a cool blue light so easy to use at night too. I was a bit concerned it could only be charged by USB but I solved this by buying a USB car adaptor for less than £2 on eBay - easy to take on holiday now!
Mark, Woking - Jul '09
visitor avatar I was wondering if the devise works in south africa??
Cherisse, London - Nov '09
Firebox says: Works all over the world!

visitor avatar Can I lock on to a waypoint then power down the unit go bout my merry way power up the unit. Will it lead me back to my waypoint?
Eddiecheba, Nc - Oct '09
Firebox says: Yep! You can store up to three locations that will stay put even if the unit is off.

visitor avatar Love the fact it is reputed to be able to track up to 32 satellites, neat trick bearing in mind they're spread all round the planet, somehow I doubt it could track one which is somewhere over Sydney whilst you're stood in London, maybe up to 12 at a time would be more likely.
AndyB, Bedford - Oct '09
Firebox says: It uses whichever satellite is closest to be able to do its thing!

visitor avatar I fly a microlight, this works awesome for making sure you dont lose track of your airfield when venturing into unknown territory !
Finchmeister, Southport - Oct '09
visitor avatar Can you delete the locations when you dont want them anymore?
, - Sep '09
Firebox says: Yes you can.

visitor avatar So say it was telling me to go back to my car pointing forward and I couldnt go that way because there was an obstical in the way if I found a way around would it adjust its not just a birds eye path?
Matt Potter, Basingstoke - Aug '09
Firebox says: It'll adjust dependant on which way you're facing when on the ground.

visitor avatar I bought one recently. We would like to take it out horse trekking. I am worried that the battery might not last long enough to guide us back which can sometimes be several hours. Is there a small emergency charger that would be compatible please?
Imke, Bournemouth - Aug '09
Firebox says: Indeed Imke! Try our Power Monkey or Freeloader to boost your Ecco power!

visitor avatar I was wondering, does it take long to acquire a signal from the satellites? my GPS on my phone can take a few minutes to get a good signal!
David, Chelmsford, UK - Aug '09
Firebox says: Not normally, but you're right, in certain areas it may take a minute or so depending on the signal in the area...
