Google has gotten permission to track a special Google Earth user on his long journey tomorrow (Dec 24th/25th). Right now he's warming up the reindeer, but soon (around 2pm GMT, Dec 24th) he'll start delivering presents, and you can follow along in Google Earth.



Simply download this network link

and you'll fly-to wherever he is. Every 10 seconds, a new location will be loaded and you'll follow him around.

For best experience, try fullscreen (F11) and the overview window (View->Overview).

If you want to turn the radar off, simply uncheck the Google's Santa Radar item under Temporary Places.

Feedback/comments/problems, reply to this message.
