This app is shared by Denis. The places you search and the pin positions you set are sent to him, so he can see how the app is used and make it better. Nothing else is collected.
How to use
Find your building: type its name or area in the search box. You can also paste coordinates (like 25.1857, 55.2650) or a full Google Maps link. In Google Maps, long-press the spot and copy the numbers it shows.
Put the pin exactly on your spot: tap Move pin, then drag the map so the white cross sits on your apartment or window, and tap Done. You can also drag the red pin, or long-press anywhere on the map.
The green line is the shortest path (great circle) from your pin to the Kaaba. The big number is the Qibla direction in degrees from true north.
Zoom in as far as you like with two fingers. Past the sharpest satellite level the picture gets blurry but the line stays exact.
Line from me: tap a point; a blue line goes from your pin to it. Use it along your wall or towards a landmark.
Free line: tap two points anywhere, for example along a road or the edge of your building. Yellow line.
Each line shows its angle to the Qibla, and tells you which way to turn if you face along it. Drag the white dots to adjust a line.
▦ Guide lines fill the map with faint lines parallel to the Qibla, so you can compare them with any wall or road.
★ saves places (home, office, mosque) so next time it's one tap. ◎ uses your phone's GPS, only as a starting point: check the pin and move it if it's off.
The Qibla direction is calculated exactly on the Earth's real shape (WGS-84). The map keeps angles true at street level, so an angle you measure on screen is the real angle on the ground. Satellite photos can be a few metres off, so lining up with walls and roads (which are all shifted together) is more reliable than the exact pin position.
