Of course, the map view of the trip from Santa Claus is only available in Google Santa Tracker until the Dec. 24. Upon entering the tracker website, the character can be seen traveling the world with animations showing him touring or handing out gifts with the help of his co-workers. As Google explains on its website, the entire tour lasts 25 hours and the first “stop” is at the Russian Far East.
From there, when midnight arrives, and therefore the Christmasin various western regions, Google Santa Tracker shows Santa’s sleigh going through various countries. It is important to note that the platform simulates and displays different information that makes the experience even more complete:
– The number of kilometers traveled by Santa Claus;
– How many kilometers separate it from the city from which each user follows the route and how long it takes to get there;
– How many gifts have been delivered so far.
It is also worth mentioning that you can follow the route of Santa Claus directly from a smartphone in google maps. If you log into Google Maps on December 24th, you will see Santa share his location in real time using the same features as the Google Santa Tracker web.
Google has always enabled the tracking of Santa or Santa Tracker since 2004, although it has varied since its creation since it only had the function of the same name, that is, to track Santa Claus and show his current position on the world map.
Santa Tracker is not only great fun for young and old every year, but has also served as a tech demo for Google developers in the past.
