Loss Contingency [Abstract]
Litigation	LITIGATION On August 9, 2013, Harbinger Capital Partners, LLC and additional plaintiffs (“Harbinger Plaintiffs”) filed a lawsuit against Deere & Co., Garmin International, Inc., the Company and two other defendants in the U.S. District Court in Manhattan in connection with the Harbinger Plaintiffs’ investment in LightSquared. The Harbinger Plaintiffs alleged, among other things, fraud and negligent misrepresentation, claiming that the defendants were aware of material facts that caused the Federal Communications Commission to take adverse action against LightSquared and affirmatively misrepresented and failed to disclose those facts prior to the Harbinger Plaintiffs’ investment in LightSquared. The Harbinger Plaintiffs sought $1.9 billion in damages from the defendants. On November 1, 2013, debtor LightSquared, Inc. and two related parties (“LightSquared Plaintiffs”) filed suit against the same defendants in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Manhattan. The LightSquared Plaintiffs asserted claims similar to those made by the Harbinger Plaintiffs, as well as additional claims, including breach of contract and tortious interference, and alleged that LightSquared invested billions of dollars in reliance on the promises and representations of defendants. On January 31, 2014, the U.S. District Court granted defendants’ motion to withdraw the LightSquared action from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court to the U.S. District Court. On February 5, 2015, the U.S. District Court dismissed all claims brought by the Harbinger Plaintiffs and the majority of those brought by the LightSquared Plaintiffs, including those for breach of contract, promissory estoppel, quantum merit, and tortious interference, but allowed the LightSquared Plaintiffs' claims of negligent representation and constructive fraud to proceed to discovery. On February 11, 2015, the Harbinger Plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal of the District Court’s dismissal of their claims. Although an unfavorable outcome of these litigation matters may have a material adverse effect on our operating results, liquidity, or financial position, the Company believes the claims in these lawsuits are without merit and intend to vigorously contest these lawsuits. On September 2, 2011, Recreational Data Services, Inc. filed an action against the Company alleging misrepresentation and breach of contract arising from an unsuccessful business venture of the plaintiff, Recreational Data Services, Inc. The Company believed this suit lacked any basis in law or fact and attempted to have the case dismissed on legal grounds prior to trial. These efforts were not successful and the case was tried in front of a jury in Alaska beginning on September 9, 2014. On September 26, 2014, the jury returned a verdict in favor of the plaintiff and awarded the plaintiff damages of $51.3 million. On January 29, 2015, the court granted the Company’s Motion for Judgment Notwithstanding the Verdict, effectively vacating the jury’s verdict and ordering that plaintiff take nothing on its claims. The Company has submitted a proposed judgment to reflect this order, and expect that the court will sign and enter that judgment. In light of this order and anticipated judgment, the Company has reversed the expense and liability previously accrued as a current liability under General and Administrative expense in its third quarter of fiscal 2014 following the jury verdict. Once judgment in the Company’s favor is entered, plaintiff has the right to appeal the judgment. From time to time, the Company is also involved in litigation arising out of the ordinary course of our business. There are no other material legal proceedings, other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to the business, to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or of which any of the Company's or its subsidiaries' property is subject.

LITIGATION

On August 9, 2013, Harbinger Capital Partners, LLC and additional plaintiffs (“Harbinger Plaintiffs”) filed a lawsuit against Deere & Co., Garmin International, Inc., the Company and two other defendants in the U.S. District Court in Manhattan in connection with the Harbinger Plaintiffs’ investment in LightSquared. The Harbinger Plaintiffs alleged, among other things, fraud and negligent misrepresentation, claiming that the defendants were aware of material facts that caused the Federal Communications Commission to take adverse action against LightSquared and affirmatively misrepresented and failed to disclose those facts prior to the Harbinger Plaintiffs’ investment in LightSquared. The Harbinger Plaintiffs sought $1.9 billion in damages from the defendants. On November 1, 2013, debtor LightSquared, Inc. and two related parties (“LightSquared Plaintiffs”) filed suit against the same defendants in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Manhattan. The LightSquared Plaintiffs asserted claims similar to those made by the Harbinger Plaintiffs, as well as additional claims, including breach of contract and tortious interference, and alleged that LightSquared invested billions of dollars in reliance on the promises and representations of defendants.

Although an unfavorable outcome of these litigation matters may have a material adverse effect on our operating results, liquidity, or financial position, the Company believes the claims in these lawsuits are without merit and intend to vigorously contest these lawsuits.

On September 2, 2011, Recreational Data Services, Inc. filed an action against the Company alleging misrepresentation and breach of contract arising from an unsuccessful business venture of the plaintiff, Recreational Data Services, Inc. The Company believed this suit lacked any basis in law or fact and attempted to have the case dismissed on legal grounds prior to trial.

From time to time, the Company is also involved in litigation arising out of the ordinary course of our business.
