Track Santa’s Gift Giving Progress with NORAD

With the partnership between NORAD and the Google (Earth) team, it is now possible to track Santa’s trek around the world delivering gifts to the nice and punishing the naughty with 404 errors. Since it is already Christmas eve on this side of the world (Asia GMT+8), Santa has started early and as of this post has already trekked through Australia, Japan and New Guinea.

If you want to track Santa’s progress in full 3D, all you need to do is follow these steps.
