How this bearing is worked out

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

JAKIM e-Solat publishes 292° 5′ 26″ for zone SWK08; our check from Kuching's coordinates gives 292° 6′ 59″. The compass uses JAKIM's figure.

Using a compass
