Why are headings still magnetic?

I met a sea captain that piloted an old ship full of refugees from
Latvia to Nova Scotia in 1939 with only a sextant and magnetic compass.
And he said it was overcast most of the time.
Lindbergh had only a compass and a maritime map (with his hand-drawn
route on it) that he had bought in a shop in San Diego to get him from
New York to Paris.
