The Magnetic North is in constant motion....... while you are in
constant ignorance.... try to spend more time learning your craft if you
want to be a sailor.

Much as it pains me to do so, I have to agree with you here. The agonic
line used to run smack dab through my home when I was a kid. Now it's about
100 miles east.

When you have to confirm property limits from a survey completed in 1951...
and that survey is based on Magnetic North bearings... Geological Survey of
Canada can provide the exact location as well as path of travel of the
Magnetic North for any year recorded. I have been to the Magnetic North in
1983.

I'm guessing that by the current magnetic survey, my property must be in
Ohio by now.

Did you see God? Or Elvis?

He's Canadjun, he saw Wayne Gretzky.

But he ain't dead yet. At least not until his wife's gambling "buddies"
knock him off.

sheesh...everyone knows he saw Santa Claus....

Did your compass spin?
How did water act when you flushed? (clockwise, counterclockwise spin)
or did it just drop straight down?
Did the magnetic field feel diffrent coming thru the top of your head?
Did you get dizzy with the earth spinning under your feet?
Was there a pole there? If not did you put one in?
Was it cold?
Find any astroids or metorites laying around?
If you walk around the pole are you walking around the world?

Joe,

The magnetic field has practically no effect on the coriolus forces. You are
confusing the magnetic pole with the axis of rotation.

However, there are piles of dead birds to be found at the poles. Birds, and
other animals, have small bits of paramagnetic material in their skulls that
help with direction finding. Once they get near the poles they try to fly
straight up and eventually fall to the ground from exhaustion.

An even bigger problem is GPS navigation near the true poles. To a GPS unit
all direction is lost at the pole. That is why airline routes do not fly
directly over the pole.

Did you know you boat will stop rusting at the magnetic pole?

Amen!

You have a wonderfully inventive imagination!

Why would this be? I don't see why the location algorithym should become
invalid at these locations.

Ooops!

It's the singularity for inertial navigational platforms, not GPS. The GPS
reference are satellites. The inertial system includes the rotation of the
earth. At the pole, there is no rotation.

I almost burned in hell for that one!

Amen!
