Just had a look at the NORAD one and its says partnered by Microsoft and Bing Maps. Does that mean it won't work on my iPad, certainly doesn't appear to be....

Am I going to have to use googles instead?

That's useful Mikey.

The ISS goes over at 5:20ish tonight and will be bladder-releasingly exciting for small people.

So if Santa's Sleigh/the ISS is said to be at 28 degrees in the sky, how high should I be looking?

My 7 year old knows what the ISS looks like so won't be hoodwinked by such shenanigans

That was pretty cool. Where I am there was a load of kids outside that simply went from exited mutterings to rainbow-shitting mental.."SANTA!!!!SANTA!!!"
