Qibla in San Diego: questions
What is the Qibla direction in San Diego?
The Qibla in San Diego is 25.3° from true north, roughly NNE. Face that bearing to face the Kaaba in Makkah.
How far is San Diego from Makkah?
About 13,518 km (8,399 miles) along the shortest path on the globe.
Why does the Qibla from San Diego 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.
