Do you use your magnetic compass?

You would have to be allowed into Bravo airspace for that to matter.
In 8 years of flying VFR and IFR in the Chicago area, I've been inside
the Bravo probably less than 5 times, and those were at odd hours.

while in class B airspace you need a working compass / DG , otherwise what are
you going to do when told to make all those turns.

navigate by the 'grid' road system.
