If you have trouble remembering where you parked your car or where you buried a treasure chest full of pirate booty, maybe you’d like this keychain GPS unit from ECCO. You lock in whichever position you’re looking to eventually return to and follow the magic arrow on the screen to find your way back.

The range is good for up to 9,999 miles, too, so you can really lock a faraway location into the device. It’s got room for up to three locations and the battery’s rechargeable via USB, lasting up to two weeks (if used an average of ten minutes per day).

Unfortunately the ECCO GPS Keychain is only available in the UK at the moment. It costs £69.95 (about $113). Maybe it’ll find its way to the US soon. Get it? Find? Like GPS? Ha! Maybe it’ll lock in some US coordinates soon. Get it? Like GPS?

  • I would think that given Europeans snobby attitude towards “stupid Americans” they would be eager to sell this thing over here.

    It would actually make life a lot easier – and a whole lot less interesting – not having to search the city for your car after a night of heavy drinking.

    • yeah, but after a night of heavy drinking i won’t be able to read a 1″ x 1″ screen…

      • And what exactly do you all think you’re doing heading back to your cars after heavy drinking?

        Maybe thats the reason that the unit isn’t for sale in the USA.

        Stupid is as stupid does!
