Accurate Qibla Finder & Compass: Real-Time Kaaba Direction with Camera AR
Travelers, hotel guests, and Muslims moving to new locations need an instant, 100% reliable Qibla direction without magnetic interference or annoying ad interruptions.
Quick answer
An accurate Qibla compass calculates the great-circle course from your geographical coordinates to the Holy Kaaba (21.4225° N, 39.8262° E). Calibration (figure-8 motion) is vital to eliminate local magnetic distortion.
Decision checklist
- Direct spherical geodetic calculation using current GPS latitude and longitude.
- Sensor calibration indicator to detect metallic or magnetic interference.
- Camera AR mode showing the exact visual trajectory towards the Kaaba.
- Works offline anywhere on earth without cellular internet once coordinates are known.
Deep guide
Scientific calculation of Qibla direction
The Qibla direction is computed using spherical trigonometry along the great circle arc connecting the user coordinates with the Kaaba in Makkah.
- Great circle shortest geodesic distance
- True North vs Magnetic North declination correction
- Continuous magnetic sensor validation

Frequently asked questions
Why is my phone compass pointing the wrong way?
Nearby magnetic fields (metal phone cases, laptops, cars) cause magnetic interference. Calibrate by rotating your phone in a figure-8 motion.
Does Islamvy Qibla compass work without internet?
Yes. The compass operates offline using your device magnetometer and cached GPS coordinates.
