Citius Development Announces Latest Tracking SantaTM Release
ARLINGTON, TX (November 26, 1998) -- Citius Development, the makers of
Tracking Santa, today announced the latest release Tracking Santa. Tracking
Santa software for Windows follows Santa's progress as he makes his
deliveries on Christmas Eve. Children's excitement builds as they watch the
Jolly Ol' Elf make his way to their homes. The software runs independent of
the Internet and parents can personalize Santa's messages, destinations and
music for their family's enjoyment. Tracking Santa is free to download at
http://www.tracksanta.com and can be registered on-line or by mail
registration fee $6.99).
Santa's Elves have always had a tough time on Christmas Eve keeping up with
jolly ol' St. Nick. It is well known that Santa's sleigh is not big enough
to hold all of the toys for his trip around the world. He returns to the
North Pole periodically for re-supply. The problem was the elves did not
know where he was, or when he would return. Tracking Santa applies
sophisticated GPS technology to provide the solution. Now the elves always
know where Santa is, how many homes he has visited, and when he will return
to the North Pole for another load. Tracking Santa has worked so well for
them, they thought others might be interested in keeping track of the Big
Guy.
Tracking Santa features a world tracking map and a satellite view that
pinpoint Santa's exact location during his journey. The status panel below
the map reports Santa's next destination and the number of homes visited.
Status messages from Santa remind the kids to leave cookies, prompt them to
go to bed on time, and report estimated arrival times at destinations of
interest. A collection of Christmas carols and Santa SoundsTM play on sound
card equipped PCs. Parents can customize the messages from Santa, add their
own home and others to Santa's route, and add their own MIDI and WAV files
to the play list. The arrival time at a destination (like Grandma's House)
can be specified so that Santa's route is predictable.
"I initially wrote it for my son. It has turned into a fun project for us.
We want Tracking Santa to bring an extra smile to children and their parents
on Christmas Eve," noted Citius Development's Chris Edwards. "Kids really
get excited when they see it. It is great fun for the parents, too."
