Perhaps due to the magic qualities of Santa s sleigh and his reindeers, the two trackers disagree eden illuminazione on his route. Both conclude eden illuminazione that the first stop of the year for Father Christmas was in Russia but Norad s satellites say he started in Magadan while Google s elves say he popped in to see the children of Provideniya first. eden illuminazione
You ll also find a difference in how Google and NORAD show you Santa s flight. Google eden illuminazione s gone with a colourful cartoon representation eden illuminazione of the great gift giver while Microsoft and NORAD show a more realistic looking avatar of him with his reindeer as they gallop across the sky.
Both Santa trackers have a running total of how many presents have been delivered so far. Eagled-eyed children might notice that Santa keeps delivering gifts as he passes over seas and oceans but there s a simple explanation for that seals, whales and other sea creatures get Christmas presents too!
If you re on the move this Christmas Eve, you can keep track of Santa for free on your phone or tablet too. Google has a dedicated Santa Tracker app for Android while Norad and Microsoft have been even more festive and released apps for Android , iOS , Windows Phone and Windows 8 . If you ve got a Chromecast , you can view the Google Santa Tracker on your TV while NORAD s also offering updates on Twitter.
NORAD has been tracking Santa for longer it started keeping an eye on him in 1955 while Google only began in 2004. Still, so far we think Google has the edge. It ll tell you when Santa is about to arrive at a new destination and how long it takes him to deliver all his packages there. You also get the gift of short cartoon videos like the one below about his journey as he goes along.
Still, that s not to say that NORAD s not doing a great job following Father Christmas. It s just that the Microsoft and the military folk there take their duties a little more seriously with a darker map and fewer festive additions. eden illuminazione
If you want to be certain you know precisely when Santa Claus will be headed to your house, you might want to keep an eye on both Santa trackers throughout the day. We ll be watching them too and updating this post with any further exciting Santa news as it arrives.
