Track Santa not only on Web but also on Your Mobile Phones this year.
This year special gift for everyone from Google, You can track Santa Claus this year… With the help of Google Earth and Norad. You can Track where Santa has been and where he is and where he will be going to next.
Google has teamed up with Norad, the North American Aerospace Defense Command. On Tuesday afternoon Google announced that this year everyone can track where will be able to track St. Nick's journey around the world using Google Maps and Google Earth.
Stacia Reddish, a Norad Tracks Santa program manager said,
"The partnership between Google and Norad to bring the Norad Tracks Santa Program to children around the world has been a perfect fit, Google has the server power needed for the program, and the fabulous people required in the mapping arena to ensure children know where Santa will be as he makes his trek around the globe."
This won’t be the first time when people can track Santa, but this year they can tr4ack him on their mobile phones by using Google Maps. And in twitter as well by adding @nordsanta.
Brian McClendon, an engineering director at Google writes in his blog, “I always thought Norad's Santa Tracker was a great holiday tradition, but I felt like it could have been even better if people could visualize exactly where Santa was on Christmas Eve, We're hoping this version of the tracker will be the best yet. In addition to our "Santa Cam" footage, geo-located photos from Panoramio will be viewable in Google Maps for each of Santa's stops that don't include video."
The tracking begins at 6 a.m. EST on Christmas Eve. Google noted that a Google Map with Santa's current location will appear at this Web address -- www.noradsanta.org -- and will be updated as his journey progresses. And people can track Santa in 3-D in Google Earth by downloading a special Norad Tracks Santa KML at this Web site. Google added that they will have hi-resolution Santa Cam videos of the jolly man flying by different locations around the world.
