Google & NORAD helps you track Santa’s Progress on your BlackBerry.
With Christmas now less than 48 hours away, Santa is making his last minute preparations for his annual flight around the world. The happy elves over at Google and NORAD are making sure you can track Santa progress from your BlackBerry smartphone. Google posted the following Santa tracking guide.
Since NORAD will be tracking Santa’s journey around the world, you can find his current location starting on December 24th. If you see he’s getting close by, just hop into bed. And if he’s already passed by your house but you don’t yet see presents (or coal!) under the tree, rest assured he’ll be looping back once you’re asleep. Read more about how NORAD tracks Santa on our Official Google Blog.
To make following Santa’s journey even easier, you can find him on your phone too. Make sure you have Google Maps for mobile (available for most phones). Then just search! Just as you’d put in a query for “pizza” to find pizza places, or “San Antonio” to find it on a map, you can search for “Santa” to find where he is at the time. This way, you can stay up to date whether you’re lounging by the fire at a ski lodge, stuck in traffic en route to Grandma’s (get your kids to look it up for you!), or at the dinner table. To get started, go to m.noradsanta.org on your mobile phone, or just search for “Santa” in Google Maps for mobile on December 24th.
After yesterday’s BlackBerry outage, I’m sure I know what many BlackBerry users want for Christmas…
