Qibla in Vancouver: questions
What is the Qibla direction in Vancouver?
The Qibla in Vancouver is 16.7° from true north, roughly NNE. Face that bearing to face the Kaaba in Makkah.
How far is Vancouver from Makkah?
About 11,974 km (7,440 miles) along the shortest path on the globe.
Why does the Qibla from Vancouver 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.
