What is Qibla Direction, Solar Ephemeris & RF Geodesic Studio?

Qibla Direction & Geodesic Azimuth Compass Studio computes the exact forward bearing and geodesic distance from any coordinate on Earth to the Kaaba in Makkah (21.422487° N, 39.826206° E) — or between any two custom stations — using both spherical great-circle trigonometry and WGS84 Vincenty ellipsoidal geodesy.

How to use Qibla Direction, Solar Ephemeris & RF Geodesic Studio in 3 steps
  1. 1

    Enter coordinates, pick a city preset, or click opt-in GPS

    Geolocation is never requested automatically — type DD/DMS coordinates or choose a city.

  2. 2

    Set local magnetic declination if using a needle compass

    Enter local East (+) or West (−) declination to read both True North bearing and Magnetic Compass heading.

  3. 3

    Read the compass rose & geodesic distance

    Inspect clockwise azimuth in degrees, DMS, gon, and quadrant bearing.

Key features and benefits
  • Provides real interactive geodetic calculation rather than static map screenshots.
  • Shows both True Geographic North bearing and Magnetic Declination-compensated compass heading.
Common use cases

Determining exact Qibla azimuth for architectural orientation or travel without installing ad-heavy apps.

Computing two-station forward and reverse geodesic azimuths for point-to-point RF antennas.

Why browser-based works better

Qibla Direction, Solar Ephemeris & RF Geodesic Studio consolidates related gis, surveying & cad studios workflows into one cohesive, multi-mode browser studio — eliminating tab-hopping across fragmented single-purpose tools.

Every mode executes locally using Web APIs and audited client-side libraries, so private files, tokens, and source code never leave your device.

Qibla Direction, Solar Ephemeris & RF Geodesic Studio FAQs

Quick answers about the workflow, privacy, and where this tool fits in a broader job.

Why is Qibla direction northeast from North America instead of southeast?

The shortest path on a sphere/ellipsoid follows a great-circle geodesic, which arches northward across the Atlantic from North America toward Makkah (~58° ENE from New York).

Keep the workflow moving with nearby tools that solve the next likely step.
