North is migrating yearly, and that we're
overdue for a magnetic "flip" of the poles?
Before my day in the Air Force, and way before GPS, B-52 bombers and ICBM missiles were equipped with Startrackers that could lock onto and track a star, even in daytime. The obvious problem, however, is cloud cover...

The BUFF Astro Tracker was very difficult to maintain. Tube, mechanical computers and lost of components in the wheel well that were sprayed with the elements.

Yes, the north magnetic is crossing the line between the geographic north pole and the international date line this summer. Weakening also. The south magnetic pole? Little change!
