Would be simple to have DGs slaved to true north automatically, given

This is switch-selectable in some aircraft, I think because true north is much
easier to deal with when flying over long routes without navaid coverage
during which latitudes and longitudes must be dealt with directly (e.g.,
transatlantic flights).
