NORAD tracks Santa with Google
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
href="http://www.noradsanta.org/" >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
href="http://www.noradsanta.org/en/how.htm" >Santa Cams on the
Google Map and post the videos on the
href="http://youtube.com/profile?user=NORADTracksSanta" >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!
