Tracking Santa with Google Earth

Do you want to keep your kids busy Christmas Eve? The Google Earth Santa Tracker may be the answer you need.

NORAD (North American Air Defense Command) has been providing the Santa Tracker since around 1995. Now, you can have live access to the jolly old man's whereabouts in real time and in 3d on Google Earth.

Here's how you do it from the Google Earth Blog:
"Click on the "Points" folder and select "Tools->Play Tour" from the GE menu to see a really cool flying tour of the route. Pretend you are Santa! You can E-mail Travel by GPS a placemark from Google Earth for the location of your house, and they will add your house to the route."

See link below for more information.
