Questions
How is the Qibla direction calculated?
We calculate the initial bearing of the great-circle path (the shortest route over the globe) from your location to the Kaaba in Makkah (21.4225° N, 39.8262° E). That is why the Qibla from North America points north-east rather than south-east.
Is the compass accurate?
Phone compasses can be disturbed by metal, magnets and electronics. Calibrate by moving your phone in a figure-of-eight, and confirm with the degree value shown.
What does "from true north" mean?
True north is the direction to the geographic North Pole. Magnetic compasses point to magnetic north, which can differ by a few degrees depending on where you are.
