NORAD Tracks Santa Claus With Google Maps, Google Earth
NORAD is tracking Santa again this year with the help of Google Maps and Google Earth. NORAD says they have four ways to track Santa, including the Santa Cam network, which is only used once a year on Christmas Eve.
The third tracking system is the Santa Cam network. We began using it in 1998, which is the year we put our Santa Tracking program on the internet. Santa Cams are ultra-cool, high-tech, high-speed digital cameras that are pre-positioned at many locations around the world. NORAD only uses these cameras once a year on Christmas Eve. The cameras capture images and videos of Santa and his reindeer as they make their journey around the world.
