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.

Lock your location

Get totally lost

Let the GPS guide
you back!

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. Result

Dude, where's my car?

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.

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.

"It's hard to get lost with IDC's ECCO on your keyring."
Wired - Nov '09

"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

"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."
Attitude - Jul '09

“You’ll never get lost in a car park again.”
The Telegraph - Jul '09

“If you can never remember where you parked your car, then the Ecco GPS keychain can help you find it.”
Web User - Jul '09

"Make it more difficult to get totally lost with Ecco's GPS Keychain."
The Sunday Times - Jun '09

"The world's smallest GPS navigation device"
The Metro - Jun '09

Does it really work well?
Andrew, Runcorn, Cheshire, UK - 15th November 2011

Firebox says: It does! this little beaut will point you in the right direction, even up to 9,999 miles away! Now, Go get lost! (but buy one before you do that)

Does it save your locations if you turn it off?
Andy, Wolves - 8th September 2011

Firebox says: It does indeed Andy, up to 3 locations.

I am thinking of getting this, but I don't think I will be attaching it to keys, and would keep it separate from them (not in the same bag). We lost the car when we parked on a ferry to France then could not find the car. We eventually found it cos it was at the front of a line of cars waiting to get off the ferry. LOL! Staff and fellow travellers were entertained as we ran up and down looking. Though doubt the GPS would work in that situation!
Rosie, Belvedere - 21st July 2011

So what if I were to have this attached to my car keys and managed to lose them with the location of my car saved on it? Or even my home. I'm not sure how a product like this could exist considering the security flaw of advertising the location of the lock for the keys.
Shaun, United Kingdom - 24th May 2011

Worked great for a few days after the initial charge. However the second time I charged it the device didn't correctly turn on again. The lights were on, but nobody home. Shame, as it worked a treat for a bit. Had to return it.
Scott, Denham - 31st March 2011

Firebox says: Hi Scott, sorry to hear that. If you haven't already contacted us please do on info@firbox.com and we will sort this out for you.

Bought around 1 year ago. Doesn't work. Just can't lock on to GPS. And I'm talking in full open outdoors at times. Sometimes gives crazy 'home' points nowhere near point you locked. Plus top cover fell off under very careful normal use.
Sam, London - 1st February 2011

Firebox says: Drop us an email Sam, at info@firebox.com.

I bought one of these last year and tried several times to use it in various locations. It has never worked,.
David, Milton Keynes - 27th January 2011

Firebox says: Sorry to hear that. It you are still experiencing problems please contact us at info@firebox.com so we can advise.

I was bored, had a bit of money to spend... So I thought I might as well buy this. No idea what I'll use it for just yet, but really can't wait to get it :D No doubt it will actually get here sooner than I expect, the speed of shipping from Firebox is amazing! One thing that I'm curious about... How weatherproof is it? I don't expect it to survive a nuclear war, but neither would I want it to die from just one drop of rain (we all know what the weather here in Manc is like D: ) Either way... I'm really looking forward to getting it in the post, hopefully those free sweets are still included too :P.
M_Woody, Manchester (unfortunately) - 7th January 2011

Question on charging unit. Can I use the charger from my mobile which has output of 5V=1A.
Cbf, UK - 23rd November 2010

Firebox says: The charger input is via USB, if your mobile supports USB, you should be all set.

Can I use this in South Africa?
Caroline, Dorset - 30th September 2010

Firebox says: It works via Satellite Caroline, so will work worldwide.
