Solar storms spell trouble for GPS
Then we need to resurrect the Tate Compass Company, who installed the
magnets in their compasses backwards so that North was South, East was West.
This started the old saying, "He who has a Tate's is lost".

What this program stated and I had read it elsewhere, is the magnetic core
within the earth had flipped every 200K to 700K years. Geologist know how
to figure this out from core samples. They said the last one was over 700K
years ago. The north magnetic pole (as we know it) flips to the south
pole.
