Loading... Ecco GPS keychain
If you’ve ever lost your car in a car park after a long days shopping (it’s a girl thang), or misplaced your tent at Glasto (that’s a boy off his face thang), then this could be the gadget for you! It’s a teeny weeny GPS system that you attach to your keys that gives you the much needed directions before you start crying.
You simply ‘lock’ in your starting location, get out and about, possibly lost, and if so, just follow the ECCO’s idiot-proof LCD display back to where you started. Even better, the ECCO will store up to three locations, mmmm so I’m thinking Jimmy Choo via Selfridges with a quick stop at Zuma for a bite to eat. Perfect.
It’s charges via USB and lasts for a month on standby and approximately 2 weeks if you use it for ten minutes every day. Then again, if you need to use it more than that then you probably shouldn’t be left to go out on your own. Mwoooaaaah.
Available at www.firebox.com for £69.95.

Mine stopped working from the first day of use. LCD went blank and customer service line is always busy. Emails to their customer support return a “Delivery Failure” message. Very wierd
