Question: How can I find the direction of north in the world?

Question: How can I find the direction of north in the world?

I am making my own drone with stabilization. I have already implemented altitude holding and drone tilt angle stabilization.

I wanted to add something similar to GPS, so that even if the drone gets pushed away, it would try to return to one specific point and not fly away. I am doing this using 3 navigation tables and 3 beacons respectively.

The problem is that the angle shifts relative to the ship, which means I need something else. Is there any way to get information about the angle relative to the north direction?

If that is not possible, I know one mod: Aeronaut's Compass. It seems like it allows you to set the compass to some very far north coordinates in the world.
