This week, digital-focused Garmin International made clear paper is still in its long-term plan.
The gangly headline of a press release — Garmin Announces Decision to Continue the Manufacturing of Heralded DeLorme Atlas & Gazetteer Product Line for all 50 States — was followed by the qualifier explaining that paper atlases continue to be in strong demand “even as digital alternatives continue to proliferate.”
Garmin acquired DeLorme earlier this year. A Maine-based company founded in 1976, DeLorme has long employed a dedicated cartography staff and produced an extensive library of maps. This includes its oversize atlases and gazetteers for all 50 states.
