Turn on your iPhone, tap on Google Maps, type in Santa, and his jolliness will pop right up on your screen thanks to the Christmas spirit of Google and NORAD. Perfect to help you and your kids keep track of the old elf and make sure his milk and cookies are ready and waiting the moment he pops down the chimney.

Google Earth app [Free - iTunes link], YouTube, and even @NORADSanta on Twitter will also help you keep your sights set on reindeer and sleigh.

    It works in maps not earth at least in the U.S.

  2. JPO says:

    Yes. I couldn't get it to work in google earth, but got it to work in maps.

  3. Guido says:

    I just showed this to the neighborhood kids that came over and their eyes lit up, so while it's 'dumb' to you, it still makes some people happy so keep your negative anti-happy comments to yourself.

  4. Dionte says:

    This would have to track Ups, Fedex and Usps for me, those are the only Santa's I know

    Lie to kids great. Why give Santa created for your hard earned money. I guess to each his own.
