Remarkable Venue

Eartha is the world’s largest rotating and revolving globe, located within the former headquarters of the DeLorme mapping corporation in Yarmouth, Maine. Garmin purchased the company and the building in 2016.

Eartha mimics the Earth’s movements mounted on a custom-designed, mechanized cantilever arm and simulates one day’s revolution and rotation every 18 minutes. Inside a three-story glass atrium, visitors can marvel at Eartha from three different observation levels, roughly at the South Pole, the Equator, and Greenland.

Completed in 1998 after two years of planning and construction, the globe weighs approximately 5,600 pounds, and has a diameter of over 41 feet.

Honored Guests (Invited)
