Santa Claus fans all over the world can keep track of the Christmas Eve trip of the Big Man by using Google Maps' Santa Tracker feature, which is now ready to be used.

With Santa delivering gifts and toys to good children and to dutiful techies on his Christmas Eve trip the world over, his fans can keep an eye on his deliveries with the help of the Santa Tracker of Google maps.

Announcing the Santa Tracker feature in a recent post on the Google Chrome Blog, Chrome developer elf Eric Bidelman revealed that Google had also released another feature - the Santa Tracker Chrome extension - to facilitate the Santa fans in keeping track on his deliveries.

As per the blog post, the installation of the special Santa Tracker Chrome extension - which is now available for download from the Chrome Web Store - can facilitate the Google Chrome users in following Santa's travels live while surfing for other information without needing to open another Chrome tab.

While noting that Google Maps' Santa Tracker can be used by Santa fans to "follow his progress and keep tabs on how many presents he's delivered" across the globe this Christmas Eve, Bidelman said in the blog post: "This year Santa's developer elves went a bit further. They created a Chrome extension that enables you to simultaneously browse the Web on your Chrome Browser and follow Santa along his route."
