What will they call this wonder of modern navigation?

A compass, perhaps?

Next they will issue spyglasses and sextants to all B-2 bomber pilots. :)

It’s better than that, because compasses only measure direction in 2D, while a magnetometer can measure direction in 3D, and also measures strength, and a gradiometer can also measure the gradient of the strength (how does strength change with position).
