Google Maps tracks Santa's journey across the globe on Christmas Eve

Google and NORAD – the North American Aerospace Defence Command – have teamed up to show Santa’s route as he delivers presents across the globe.

NORAD has been tracking Father Christmas since 1955 but three years ago joined forces with Google to utilise Google Maps.

This year the real-time stream will begin at 2am Eastern Time (9am GMT) on Christmas Eve.

Noradsanta.org will host this year’s event, with children able to play holiday-themed games in the lead up to Christmas, with a new one added every day.

People will be able to follow Father Christmas on their computer, phones and on Google Earth this holiday as the countdown to the big day begins

Again another novelty application that makes use of google maps, its just a way for parents to entertain there kids on christmas eve and keep the magic of christmas alive
