Why in gods name are VOR's Mag heading based?
Tradition.
Best answer I've heard yet

Isn't the difference between your compass heading and the radial you
are flying the drift? Knowing drift is pretty useful...

The correction angle maybe. You aren't drifting at all if you are
on the radial.

Yes, that's what I mean, you are holding off "x" degrees of drift.
That fact is very useful and given the choice between a true and
magnetic VOR I think I would prefer magnetic for just that reason.
You?
