Ho Ho Ho! Track Santa around the world with Google’s Santa Tracker
December 24, 2014
After 23 days of preparation, the elves are finally ready for Santa’s annual journey around the globe. They’ve taught each other how to say
"Santa Claus" in Swedish
, guided their friends through mazes
with code
, brushed up on
their geography
, and learned about
organizations making a difference worldwide
. It’s been a busy month, but Santa’s sleigh is now ready for lift-off!
The elves brushed up on coding fundamentals with blockly maze games

Each stop on Santa’s journey offers more to explore—discover 360-degree imagery, Wikipedia snippets, geography facts, and updates on how far Santa’s current location is from yours (take note—Santa’s path is not a direct one!). Come back and visit
google.com/santatracker
throughout the night for more surprises, like sleigh selfies or a
latitude and longitude game
to deliver presents.
Follow Santa on any screen—desktop, phone, tablet, or TV
If you’re on the ho-ho-go, download the
Santa Tracker App for Android
to keep track of Santa on your phone or tablet. With the Android app, watch Santa’s journey on your TV using Chromecast, or on your wrist with Android Wear (especially handy when wrapping last-minute gifts). And, you can always search for Santa on
www.google.com
or on
Google Maps
, and get real-time location updates with Google Now in the Google App.
Santa’s available at the flick of the wrist with Android Wear
Santa’s got a long and exciting night ahead of him before heading back to the North Pole. Grab some eggnog, set out the cookies, and join Google Maps on

Do some holiday (window) shopping with Google Maps
December 19, 2014
So much of the fun of holiday shopping is seeing the lavish, seasonal displays in the windows of shops and department stores as you pass by. Starting today, with
Google Maps Business View

Santa and his elves
hard at work. After all, we’re only a week away from their big night!
Macy’s, New York, NY, USA
Rounding out our NYC tour, Bloomingdale’s is getting the
New Year’s Eve
party started early. There’s no place to ring in 2015 like in the bright lights of the big city.
Bloomingdale’s, New York, NY, USA
Holiday shopping in London may be blustery and cold, but the lovely, inviting window displays are sure to warm the heart. Stopping first at Selfridges, you can go on a
themed journey from fairytale to fable
, all finished with rhymes...even their windows have labels!

Looking into the
gilded window displays

Drive by Dubai with Street View
December 8, 2014
Dubai is home to the world’s
tallest tower
,
largest mall
and the planet’s only
seven-star hotel
. With all these modern wonders, it’s no surprise that Dubai hosted 10 million global visitors last year—and aims to hit a record-breaking 20 million visitors in 2020. Starting today, it can add virtual visitors to that list, as Dubai becomes the first city in an Arab country to be added to Street View in Google Maps.
Start your tour with a drive on
Sheikh Zayed Road
, the longest road in the Emirates that runs in parallel to the coastline. Peer up at the city’s iconic skyscrapers and high-rise towers that, in some cases, reach more than 1,000 feet into the clouds. On one side, you can see the city’s elevated and driverless metro system.
Sheikh Zayed Road, Dubai
Along Financial Road, pass
Dubai Mall
, home to thousands of shops. But with an average of 75 million visitors every year, the mall is more than just a retail space. Inside is a 10 million-liter aquarium -- one of the largest suspended tanks in the world -- and a facing it there is a flock of
famous dancing fountains
.
Dubai Mall, Dubai
Most of Dubai’s buildings were
constructed in the last decade
, but if you’re curious to go back to where it all began, visit
Deira
. Here, the great-grandfathers of present-day merchants set up shop, creating one of the region’s biggest markets and establishing a major link in the time’s global trade routes.
Deira Spice Souk, Dubai
Finally, no visit of Dubai is complete without touring the
Dubai Creek
. Known for its fusion of past and present cultures, and its trading connections with countries around and beyond the Arabian Gulf, along its banks you can see merchant dhows docked and bazaars bustling with silks and spices.
Dubai Creek, Dubai
It’s hard to believe that a city not much larger than 4,000 square kilometers has become such a hub of modern culture with more than 200 nationalities mingling daily, as well as a center for trade and tourism in just four short decades. We hope that you’ll be inspired to explore its wonders in person, but until then, they’re just a click away.

Viva La Espana: 50 new Street View sights in Spain
December 5, 2014
The Iberian Peninsula has a rich and varied artistic, architectural and cultural legacy. Roman remains, Al-Andalus, Gothic splendor and 19th century Catalan modernism are just a few examples of what you might see travelling around Spain’s cities and countryside. And starting today, people all over the world will be able to explore 50 new iconic locations in Spain with Street View on Google Maps.
Peruse architectural details of the
Alhambra and Generalife
, walk around the
Tower of Hercules
(a Roman Empire-era lighthouse), and gaze up at the vast arched ceiling of the crypt at the
Church of Sagrada Familia
.
The Courtyard of the Lions at the Alhambra
Inside of the Church of the Sagrada Familia
In addition to these famed sights, you can also discover lesser-known treasures. Visit the desertlike world of the
Bardenas Reales
natural park in southeast Navarre, Neoclassic architecture at the
Congress of Deputies
and colorful stained-glass windows in the
Cathedral of León
. Or make a trip to the
small medieval town of Albarracín
, a walled lordship that has stood for centuries.
Casteldetierra, Bardenas Reales natural park
Inside the Congress of Deputies
This 360-degree imagery was collected by our
Trekker
, a backpack equipped with Street View technology that allows the wearer to capture imagery while walking. To capture details of the fine art and architecture inside these magnificent sites, we enlisted the help of the
Trolley
. And for more sprawling locations, the trusty
Trike
captured imagery while its rider pedaled.
If this collection piques your interest to see these locations in person, you’re in good company. In fact, according to the
survey on the Impact of Online Content on European Tourism
, more than half of EU travelers consult Internet sites and social media in order to get information about trips. But even if you’re not planning
un vacación
anytime soon, the wonders of Spain are now just a click away.

Race with Rudolph and skydive with Santa in the countdown to December 24
December 1, 2014
December may mean snow days in Denver, Colo. or beach days in Sydney, Australia, but in
Santa’s Village
, it means the countdown to Santa’s big night. Starting today, the elves are back on the clock in the North Pole—and throughout the month of December, you can join the elves as they unlock a new project or game each day in preparation for Santa’s annual journey around the world.
The elves have a busy month ahead of them—the reindeers need training and the presents need packing. They’re studying up on Santa’s upcoming stops with candy cane cartography,
holiday tradition tests
, and even jolly JavaScript courses.
Throughout the holiday celebration, our own developer elves here at Google have also been hard at work getting the sleigh tracking algorithm ready for prime time. They’ve been adding finishing touches to the
Santa Tracker App for Android
so Santa’s just a tap away on phones, tablets, and TVs. The developer elves have been busy, so check out the
chrome extension
and keep a
watch
out for Santa surprises throughout the month.
Whether you’re wearing snow goggles or sunnies this December, come back to
www.google.com/santatracker
each day to join in on present parachute practice and
reindeer races
, or to send a call to friends from Santa. There’s only 23 days to go, so follow Google Maps on
Google+
,
Facebook
and
Twitter
in the countdown

Explore U.S. landmarks in honor of Veterans Day
November 11, 2014
In 1919, after the World War I armistice, President Wilson proclaimed
November 11
a day dedicated to honor and remember the servicemen of the armed forces:
"To us in America, the reflections of Armistice Day will be filled with solemn pride in the heroism of those who died in the country’s service and with gratitude for the victory, both because of the thing from which it has freed us and because of the opportunity it has given America to show her sympathy with peace and justice in the councils of the nations…"
Today, whether you recognize
Veterans Day
,
Armistice Day
or
Remembrance Day
, you can now celebrate servicemen and women by touring some significant
U.S. historical places
in Street View in Google Maps.
Visit
West Point Cemetery

Gettysburg National Military Park
in Pennsylvania, the site of the infamous 1863 Battle of Gettysburg during the American Civil War.

Google Maps: Your best accessory this season
November 5, 2014
Bold colors and textures are in—and Google Maps is on trend, with a slick new style to make traveling with Maps even easier. Over the next few days, when you open up Google Maps on your Android or iPhone, you’ll be greeted by bright colors and a fresh new design. This new look is all about creating surfaces and shadows that echo the real world; with Google Maps’ new material feel, layers and buttons come to life so you know just where to touch to get directions, recommendations and imagery.
Getting around with Google Maps is even easier with the new design
By tapping on a place’s info sheet at the bottom of your screen, you’ll send an info layer gliding up to the top, showing you photos, reviews, and more. And for the adventurous souls looking for a new place to dine or visit, you’ll see
more to Explore
at the bottom of your map.
Fluid transitions guide you through Google Maps
There’s more to this app than good looks—we also make it easier for you to get on with your day. Need to make a last-minute dinner reservation? You can now reserve a table right from the Google Maps app for restaurants found on OpenTable (U.S. only).
Make a restaurant reservation from Google Maps
On a cool winter day, a chilly walk or train ride may not always be the most appealing choice. Travelers
deciding
whether they should take an Uber or brave the frosty winds can now see estimates for Uber’s pickup time and price for their route in walking and transit directions in Google Maps. This option will appear if you have the Uber app installed, where available.
Wait time and price estimates for Google Maps’ Uber card
For Google Maps, giving you useful options and information is always in vogue. So as you’re traveling this holiday season, don’t forget to open up your Maps app for all the navigation help we have to offer—now with a fun new look.

Explore the haunted corners of the world... if you dare
October 29, 2014
Something wicked this way comes
… Whether you’re a trio of
witches back from the dead
or just a trick-or-treater, chances are you’re hitting the streets (or riding a broom!) on Halloween night. For those looking for an extra fright, take a tour of spooky places from around the world on Google Maps.
Start in 19th century Paris. While cheery guests listen to the beautiful arias at the Opéra Garnier, a dreary lake lies beneath the streets. Floating above the silent water, a
phantom
lurks. Are your eyes playing tricks on you... or is that a cloaked figure looming in the shadows?
Opéra Garnier (Paris Opera), Paris, France
Standing at the steps of
Craigdarroch Castle
in Victoria, BC, you might believe you’ve found the perfect home away from home. Think again… listen closely for the sounds of a piano playing softly throughout the house. The spirit of a ghastly pianist is said to linger in the corridors and windows.
Craigdarroch Castle, Victoria, BC
If you’re feeling ill, the abandoned
Xinglin hospital
in Taiwan is
not
the place to go. For years, passersby have sighted now-deceased patients, both young and old, in the treacherous fourth- and fifth-floor windows. To this day, people claim to hear wailing in the night from inside the hospital’s haunted walls.
Xinglin hospital, Tainan, Taiwan
Not all spooky stories are made up. For three decades, the
Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary
was home to some 1,500 of the world’s most infamous prisoners. Surrounded by bone-chilling waters, “the Rock” was notorious as the toughest prison in America.
Alcatraz Island, California, USA
If these spooky spots whet your appetite for fear, get up close with some of the most frightful locations in Google Maps Gallery and find ghouls and goblins in
haunted houses
around the world. If you’re looking for a laugh instead of a scream, take a
hayride
through your local corn maze, find the perfect jack-o-lantern at your neighboring
pumpkin patch
, and scout the best
trick-or-treat
routes near you.
Now get your cauldrons bubbling and monsters mashing because after all,
this is Halloween
!
