Finding the Qibla from Joensuu
From Joensuu you face towards the south, at an angle of 165.9° from true north; the Kaaba is 4,642 km away. We computed this angle with spherical trigonometry from the coordinates of Joensuu and those of the Kaaba (21.4225° N, 39.8262° E). Note that a compass points to magnetic north, which can differ by a few degrees from true north.
