Are the locations pre-programmed into the source code, or is the fake location of Santa Claus processed server-side? #39

This is not an issue. I'm just asking a question.

Santa publishes his route at a HTTP location that we fetch via Firebase Remote Config. It's not in any verison's source code.

If he diverges from this route, we get an update immediately via Remote Config and fetch the new route.

Is the route already online?
