Way back when I was a navigator on a KC-135 using Grid Navigation we
referenced the DG to Grid North, not True North. Big difference between

Right! And at PanAm, we paid real big bucks for those 'low precession'
gyros. Actually they had an anti-precession controller into which one
would set the latitude as one progressed.
