Should I use the map angle or the phone compass?
Select a city, enter coordinates or request your current location. The page calculates the true-north bearing first, then uses the phone compass only as an optional live comparison.
What can make a phone compass inaccurate?
Open the compass with the on-page control so the browser can request sensor permission correctly. The displayed angle is a location-based calculation, while the moving compass depends on your device and surroundings. Treat both as guidance, check for sensor interference and confirm the direction locally before worship.
Can I calculate a direction without precise GPS?
Nothing starts until you choose a location method. You may search a city, enter coordinates or request current GPS; a saved point remains optional and is clearly labelled before use. If the device sensor is unavailable or unstable, follow the calculated map line and read the degree value from true north.
How do I verify a result before prayer?
If the device sensor is unavailable or unstable, follow the calculated map line and read the degree value from true north. The displayed angle is a location-based calculation, while the moving compass depends on your device and surroundings. Treat both as guidance, check for sensor interference and confirm the direction locally before worship.
Why can calculated prayer times vary locally?
These daily times are calculated from the selected coordinates and date. Calculation methods and local practices can differ, so compare important times with a mosque or trusted local timetable.
