The story behind this tracker is really funny. An advertisement meant as a Santa hotline accidentally misprinted their number and linked to a confidential number in NORAD. Lots of kids started calling it, and people in command were unavoidably confused. After figuring out what happened, they decided to host an actual santa hotline in said number, which later evolved into this tracker.

If he isn't moving at relativistic speed, I don't think the tracker is accurate.
