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.

The Gazetteer, which listed bicycle trails, canoeing and kayaking trips, and museum and historic sites, proved quite successful.

The company expanded to 75 employees in 1986, working from a Quonset hut in Freeport, Maine, producing maps for New England and upstate New York.
