How to Use This Bearing
If you are using a phone compass, first confirm that the device is calibrated and that the app is using true north rather than a poorly calibrated magnetic reading. In homes, offices, hotels, and temporary prayer rooms, the Qibla direction does not change through the day, so once the orientation is confirmed it can be reused.
For mosque-specific markings or building layouts, local signage should override a rough handheld reading. This page is a Riyadh reference, not a substitute for local mosque direction markers.
