Using Google Maps, Google Earth and special Santa Cams


24 December 2008 15:00 GMT / By Verity Burns

If you're one of the non-believers out there, or fancy keeping an eye on Santa's progress tonight as he travels the world dishing out presents, you simply need to log on and check out one of the Santa-cams online.

Google has once again teamed up with NORAD, the North American Aerospace Defense Command, to bring you the NORAD Santa Tracker.

NORAD provides aerospace warning and control for North America 365 days a year, and on Christmas Eve, they turn their attention to Santa, tracking his yearly gift-delivering journey from the North Pole.

The Santa Tracker is live now, meaning you can track him both on Google Maps and Google Earth, as well as view videos of his flights over several landmark cities captured by special "Santa cams".

Will he be paying a visit to your house?
