DeLorme Mapmakers and Map-Making Expertise

DeLorme offers a unique set of core competencies across the complex areas of map data creation and management, software development, and integration within GPS technologies. This ability to understand and develop all the critical components necessary to compete in the fast-changing world of GPS and digital mapping provides DeLorme with a unique competitive advantage.

An Early GPS Player

In the mid-1990s, before GPS usage was widespread, DeLorme was pioneering laptop GPS solutions that today include the popular Earthmate® GPS LT-40. Subsequent development led to industry-first GPS solutions for Pocket PC and Palm OS devices and more recently for Bluetooth GPS solutions.

In 2007, the company has introduced two new devices: the Earthmate GPS PN-20, which displays DeLorme color topographic maps and aerial imagery; and the Earthmate GPS BT-20, which provides flexible solutions for both Bluetooth and USB hardware platforms. DeLorme GPS receivers come with the company’s award winning Street Atlas USA software or Topo USA software titles.
