Santa Tracker live: how to follow Santa with Norad or Google (TechRadar)

Want the best Santa Tracker and to play some fun games through Norad or Google? We're live-blogging it for you.

Here in the UK, we leave carrots for the reindeer, and Santa often gets a mince pie and some kind of alcoholic tipple such as sherry or brandy, but there are different traditions all over the world. While Google doesn't have the same satellite tracking power of NORAD, one has to assume the search giant has struck a deal with the North Pole to figure out where he is in real time using search and radar and lazers and... NORAD says he'll be aloft in 7hrs 48 minutes at the time of writing (9am GMT) but Google says it's 8hrs 48 minutes. Our suggestion: follow both and get double the fun. So, what can you expect to see once Santa takes off? (Note - the 'install' option, which tells you to 'Add to Home Screen', doesn't work on iPhones). I'm taking a break for a bit - I've got my own presents to wrap. Well, just go to the This website, run by the US military, fuses gruff colonels presenting a video about Santa Claus with live, up-to-the-minute info on where the man in the big red suit is. But if you can be bothered, then dialling +1 (877) HI-NORAD will do the trick too. Using the two most popular trackers, NORAD and Google, we’ll be bringing you live updates as St Nick makes his way around the globe. As we close out another year, it’s time for one of our favorite seasonal activities - the TechRadar Santa tracker!
