How this bearing is worked out

The bearing is the great-circle (shortest-path) direction from Penang 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° 34′ 37″ for zone PNG01; our check from Penang's coordinates gives 291° 34′ 24″. 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.
