Company Profile for DeLorme.

DeLorme is a leading provider of mapping products and technical solutions for the consumer and professional markets. Located in Yarmouth, Maine, DeLorme headquarters is home to corporate offices, a state-of-the-art research and development facility, the DeLorme Map Store, and Eartha, the world's largest rotating globe.

Since its incorporation in 1976, DeLorme has developed an unprecedented reputation as a leader in the mapping industry. From humble beginnings as a paper atlas publisher, the company quickly emerged as a pioneering technological innovator. DeLorme not only embraced emerging technologies, it developed them.

After over a quarter century, DeLorme's paper Atlas and Gazetteer series is still without peer. Covering all 50 states, they provide a unique topographic perspective and a level of detail unmatched in similar publications.

DeLorme's research into alternative media and advanced technologies in the 1980's helped define digital mapping as we know it today. Street Atlas USA was the first software product to put street-level detail for the entire country on a single CD. Over a dozen versions later, Street Atlas USA is undisputedly regarded as the consumer mapping software title against which all others are judged.

Street Atlas USA was the solid foundation upon which increasingly advanced software titles were built. Topo USA, 3-D TopoQuads and ultimately the XMap suite of products were all released to high acclaim.

DeLorme's attention has increasingly turned toward the professional market. Building on its reputation for providing easy-to-use, affordable mapping solutions, it quickly found a loyal following with professionals who recognized the value in a quality product.

XMap provides a versatile and powerful mapping tool with which to use DeLorme's map data offerings such as high-resolution USGS quads, 10-meter color satellite imagery, and up-to-date street-level vector data.

The modular structure of XMap offers a level of flexibility not found in more expensive alternatives. This allows for quick and easy adaptation when the need dictates.

In 2003, DeLorme announced a new state-of-the-art digital aerial imagery platform called TopoBird. The TopoBird aerial imagery data collection platform delivers high-quality color imagery for considerably less money than film-based systems. Because the data is captured digitally, time-consuming film processing is no longer needed, which means delivery times are much faster.

DeLorme has also been a leading provider of GPS solutions at a very affordable price. In tandem with the developing GPS infrastructure, DeLorme first released Tripmate and later Earthmate as a perfect companion for its software. For the ultimate in mobility, Street Atlas USA Handheld Edition is a powerful tool for any Palm OS or Pocket PC user.

DeLorme's products have been put to use by millions of satisfied customers. Now it's time to put DeLorme to work for you.
