The Santa tracker goes live Christmas Eve, once combining the search power of Google and the Norad missle-tracking people. The Santa tracker site shows videos and projects updates in ways aimed at delighting kids and their parents.
In the days leading up to Christmas Eve, Norad is offering an interactive map of Santa's village with games and fun stuff for the kids.
To enhance the experience, be sure to download Google Earth, the free mapping program that will show you real satellite images of the delivery route.
