How to use it

  1. Stand where you intend to pray, away from large metal objects.
  2. Face the bearing shown — 67.6° clockwise from true north in Rio de Janeiro.
  3. On a phone, tap “Align with device” and grant compass permission. The needle then tracks the Kaaba as you turn.
  4. Mark a wall once; you do not need to re-measure every day.
