Qibla in Calgary: questions
What is the Qibla direction in Calgary?

How far is Calgary from Makkah?

Why does the Qibla from Calgary point NNE and not toward Makkah on a flat map?
The Qibla follows the shortest path over the curved Earth (a great circle). On a flat map that path looks bent, so the direction can look surprising, especially from North America.
Does my phone compass show true north?
Many compass apps show magnetic north, which can be several degrees off. The Mood & Dua compass corrects for this and shows when its accuracy is low.
