It will certainly mess with magnetic navigation if the poles flip! Thank goodness for GPS and inertial navigation - invented just in time to avoid total confusion.

Hawk, the magnetic force at the sun is negligible. Gravity works at a distance, magnets don't.

Not sure I can agree with you.. Don't know enough about it, but there is a growing number of astrophysicists who are seeing phenomena that can't be explained by gravitational forces alone:
