IIRC we used True for en-route navigation by selecting "Remote" on the MFS Selector. Magnetic was used for takeoff, approach and landing as well as for ATC assigned headings but I cannot recall what the switch setting was called, maybe Normal. The other selection on the panel was Bomb. I'm sure there was a bit more to it, but it was a long time ago.
