Google Santa Tracker


By on Tuesday, December 24, 2013

So Google has launched its own Santa Tracker. Previously we had seen trakcer from NORAD which was keenly followed by children around the world and had become a christmas tradition



It's that time of year when Santa packs his sleigh full and prepares for the longest all-nighter of the year. The North American Aerospace Defense Command directs its super sensitive equipment to track Santa Claus every year, its sort of a tradition now, one that’s bound to be loved by kids all around the world.

However, Google's approach is more animated and seems more than than the NORAD one which is developed along with Microsoft.

From Google's Description

On Christmas Eve we’ll be proudly showcasing a preview of Santa’s dashboard -- the technology that powers his sleigh during his around-the-world journey. We’ve received this special preview from one of Santa’s many developer elves, who are hard at work in the North Pole helping Santa prepare for his big day. Santa’s dashboard - featuring the latest and greatest in Google Maps technology and sleigh engineering - will allow you to follow his progress around the world, and also learn a little about some of his stops along the way.Our friendly elves have also invited you to explore Santa’s village while Santa gets ready for his journey. So go ahead and explore his village, you might just find some fun activities and meet some interesting elves.
