Qibla Direction Calculator
Choose a city or enter your latitude/longitude — get the great-circle bearing (degrees) towards the Khana Kaaba, the compass direction and the distance.
How to use
- Choose a city or enter your location latitude/longitude (you can get them in Google Maps by long-pressing your location).
- Set the bearing degree on your compass — it is measured from true north.
- From Pakistan, the Qibla is usually towards west-northwest, about 255 to 262 degrees.
Note: The bearing uses the great-circle (spherical trigonometry) formula, which gives the shortest and most correct path. A phone compass shows magnetic north — in Pakistan the magnetic difference is small (about 1-2 degrees), but still follow the direction of your mosque mihrab as final.
