Every year Santa Clause comes in the sledge pulling by the reindeer with the elf and distributes gift among the children of all over the world. But we always get surprise about his magical journey. We always want to know how he visits so many children in just one night. Every child’s mind is full with the curiosity that would he eat the cookies or how he manages to store all the gifts in the sledge. All of these questions keep the Santa Clause a mystery for years.
Not only the child but also the elder people want to know where Santa is at the very moment. North American Aerospace Defense Command or NOARD with the help of SketchUp and advance GPS system tracks Santa.
From 2 a.m EST of 24th December they start to track Santa. For more information visit www.noardsanta.org. You can visit his journey around the world and see the jolly man delivering gifts to the children of all over the world. We will just love to see the unmistakable red suit all over the day.
This is not the first time. NOARD started to track Santa since 1955. Google as announced in their official website that they partnered with NOARD in this mission. Embracing the spirit of the season, NORAD used its satellite and radar capabilities to offer callers sleigh-location updates, and has tracked Santa’s whereabouts on Christmas Eve ever since. Then in 2004, Google started tracking Santa on Google Earth as a 20% project, which in 2007 grew into a partnership with NORAD, adding the mapping technology of Google Maps and Google Earth to the NORAD experience. This time SketchUp come along in this venture to give it a more realistic view.
