I also almost never look at my compass, but keep in mind that when ATC tells you to turn to a heading they are referring to a magnetic heading, not course, which is what you are getting from the GPS. Here in FL they are pretty close, flying in Alaska, not so much.

I use the superior heading info on my gps to navigate in flight ( no precession, no deviation, not influenced by extraneous electrical fields).
