Qibla Compass

How it works

The Qibla bearing is the initial great-circle direction from your location to the Kaaba. Using your latitude lat₁, the Kaaba's latitude lat₂, and the longitude difference Δlong:

θ = atan2(
  sin(Δlong) × cos(lat₂),
  cos(lat₁) × sin(lat₂) − sin(lat₁) × cos(lat₂) × cos(Δlong)
)

The result θ is normalized to 0–360°, measured clockwise from true north. The needle on the compass above points toward that bearing, rotating with your device's orientation when available.
