We reported a few days ago that Google would be providing Santa tracking via Google Maps and Google Earth and we are happy to report that Santa is on his way and you can track him in real time on your Android phone.
I’ve just been showing it to my girls and they are so excited. Â They wanted to know how my phone knew where he was and I explained that Santa uses GPS just like everybody else and he’s make his signal public so everyone can see where he is. Â Young brains, you’ve got to love ’em.
Fire up your Google Maps application on your phone and do a quick search for Santa and see what you get. Â If you’re on your desktop, you can also use the Norad Santa Tracking site to see where Santa is currently delivering presents. Â Norad also has an application for your Android device that gives access to the same tracking information.
We’d all like to thank Santa for providing access to his GPS signal this season and hope maybe next year he will have a Santa Cam so we can see what he is actually doing, although it may be a little blurry what with him traveling at the speed of light… 🙂
Have a Happy Holiday everyone.
