Trackers Get Early Access
Hi Elves!
I have authorized the opening of the official Santa tracker map, but only here on SantaTrackers.net and only for enrolled Santa tracker elves.
There will be several test flights of Santa’s sleigh this week and if you want to follow along with where those are happening they will show up on the map. Of course, those flights are not running 24 hours a day so there won’t always be data there. You can expect that the flights will increase in frequency by next weekend and I would think in the last two days leading up to Santa’s launch it will pretty much be around the clock.
This same map will be visible on other websites for the general population, but not until Santa launches.
You guys get it early.
The reason we do that is so that you can practice using it as you prepare to track Santa for Santa.
This may be my last public post for a while. Usually at this point if I announce anything it will be to Tracker Elves only. Max will handle news and announcements for the general public going forward.
Thanks for your attention and Merry Christmas.
Tracker-Only Text Connection to the North Pole
Greetings, Trackers!
North Pole Flight Command is pleased to announce a new feature for Santa Tracker elves only: your own private text connection to the North Pole.
Text is a growing communication medium for Santa Trackers. Since many of you track Santa on-the-go on Christmas Eve it isn’t always possible to send in reports from a phone. Text will allow you to communicate with the North Pole in a brief fashion.
Text also presents some opportunities for the North Pole to communicate with Santa Trackers as well. While most information will be conveyed by way of this website texting might be used by the North Pole on Christmas Eve if it is needed.
We remind you that we are still subject and will be complying with laws in all countries as it relates to communicating with minors online. We have many trackers elves under the age of 18 working for Santa. So texts cannot and will not be personalized when or if we send any out. But we can send texts to large groups of trackers and now run afoul of the law. Any texts we send out will be of this nature.
If you want to take advantage of this feature, please text the word TRACKER to 43506. You can control your access to this service via your phone after you sign up.
A word of warning: Tracking Santa is an event that runs for more than 35 hours. You MIGHT get texts at odd hours about where Santa is and what he might need.
If you have questions, please post them in the comments below.
Thank you trackers for all you do!
