DeLorme Publishing Company is a producer of personal satellite tracking, messaging, and navigation technology. The company's main product, inReach, integrates GPS and satellite technologies.[1]inReach provides the ability to send and receive text messages to and from anywhere in the world (including when beyond cell phone range) by using the Iridium satellite constellation. By pairing with a smartphone, navigation is possible with access to free downloadable topographic maps and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) charts. On February 11, 2016, the company announced that it had been purchased by Garmin, another multinational producer of GPS products and services.[2][3]
DeLorme also produces printed atlas and topographic software products. The company uses a combination of digital technologies and human editors to verify travel information and map details. DeLorme Atlas & Gazetteer is an extension for vehicular GPS or online mapping sites, allowing a traveler to browse and highlight the desired route and the possible activities or excursions along the way or at the destination. DeLorme’s Topo software is one of the sources of North American trail, logging road, and terrain data for outdoor enthusiasts. Topo 10 has US and Canada topographic maps and elevation data with more than four million places of interest. Topo includes comprehensive park, lake, river and stream data for all 50 states. DeLorme continues to sell paper atlases, with more than 20 million copies sold to date.
Founded in 1976, DeLorme is headquartered in Yarmouth, Maine, and within its headquarters is Eartha, which holds the world record of the largest revolving globe.[4]
