What) In the
three-story glass atrium at Delorme headquarters, a map
software company, there is a 41 foot diameter slowly rotating
Earth globe nicknamed Eartha. Created in 1998, the enormous
structure was designed as a scale model. With the scale of
1:1,000,000 or approximately one inch equaling 16 miles,
Eartha takes 18 leisurely minutes to make a complete cycle.
Visitors can marvel at DeLorme's creation from three different
observation levels. (1)
Where) 2 DeLorme Drive Free The map store is open daily from 9:30am to 6pm but Eartha is visible 24/7. 1-207-846-7100
Why)
Although we had just driven through a long stretch of
Buckyless Maine and probably would have stopped anywhere, I
would have put Eartha on the list wherever she happened to be.
This sign sits at the entrance to the parking lot but I didn't notice it until we were driving away.
