Is there any evolutionary benefit from magnetoreception?

[physsure]

Some organisms still have magnetoreceptors, what would be the evolutionary benefits of these receptors?

 

[BillTre]

Among the most common benefits attributed to magnetoreceptors are as aids in navigation or orientation.

Apparently male humans, at least, are in some circumstances able to orient geomagnetically when that helps in finding food: https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0211826, and the avian visual system includes a broader frequency response range than ours for actionable magnetoreceptivity associated with vision:
