How this bearing is worked out

The bearing is the great-circle (shortest-path) direction from Alor Setar to the Kaaba in Makkah, measured clockwise from true north. It is the same method used for official Qibla determinations.

JAKIM e-Solat publishes 291° 5′ 39″ for zone KDH01; our check from Alor Setar's coordinates gives 291° 12′ 40″. The compass uses JAKIM's figure.

Using a compass

  • Hold the phone or compass flat, away from metal, cars and speakers.
  • Calibrate a phone compass by moving it in a figure of eight.
  • Inside a mosque, follow the mihrab and saf lines.
