Default Why are headings still magnetic?

I believe all U-2s have been retired. The satellite folks are winning
the high altitude intel game. Too bad the U-2 was a nice plane (glider?

Did (or does) the U-2 employ a comparable ANS


The U-2 predates the ANS, I believe, and today I'd expect it to be
using GPS instead, which is much more accurate.
