I would personally just treat whatever direction I'm facing at the time as North and go from there.

I feel like while your phone has battery, there are easier ways to navigate than a compass.
No data, no map.
GPS can give your coordinates, but that’s pointless unless you walk a bit and translate the direction.
Compass uses most of its power for the screen.
Do you have a minute to talk about Openstreetmap? You can download the map before you head out, then navigate without data connection.
This requires foresight. Most people don't plan on getting lost.
I just use the app for navigation so I always download the map for the area I travel to before I go.
I used to do the same when i was too poor to afford data on my phone or when i go through areas with poor service.
google also allows offline caching, but also needs to be set up ahead of time. AFAIK once you set a region to download, it will update that cache regularly.
I would expect this is a feature that most map apps would offer
Following the gps map- is great when you’re trying to get somewhere, but if the goal is walking, I usually want to leave the tech in my pocket. Compass is a nice compromise to help navigate while still taking a break from behind slave to the machine
