Which way is
the Kaaba?
The true Qibla is the shortest path over a sphere — which is why it points north-east from New York, not south-east. We compute the great-circle bearing exactly, then your phone's compass does the rest.

MethodGreat-circle (spherical)
A flat map lies about direction. Over the Earth's curve the shortest line from North America to Makkah runs up over the Atlantic — so a Qibla that looks wrong on a Mercator projection is usually the right one.
