NORAD tracks Santa with Google
December 23, 2007
Posted by Melissa Crounse, Santa Tracker
Now Dasher! Now Dancer! Now, Prancer and Vixen! On, Comet! On, Cupid! On, Donner and Blitzen!
We're counting down the hours until Santa's flight around the world. On Monday, December 24th, starting at 1 am PST, visit
noradsanta.org
to track Santa with NORAD on his annual trip.
NORAD will use Google Maps to track several hundred of Santa's stops in over 200 countries and territories, and will embed videos of Santa's stops captured on their
Santa Cams
on the Google Map and post the videos on the
NORAD Tracks Santa YouTube channel
.
Want to see more of Santa? NORAD will also provide a downloadable Santa Tracker file to track several thousand of Santa's stops in
Google Earth
. Santa's visits are only a few seconds long, and then -- poof, he's off to the next location. Click on the gift icons in Google Maps or Google Earth to learn more about the cities that Santa visits.
Happy holidays from all of us at Google!
