How accurate is this?
- The bearing is exact for the city centre (36.317°, 74.650°); across a city it changes by less than half a degree.
- A phone compass is often off by 5–20°, near metal, cars, speakers and wiring. Calibrate it (move the phone in a figure 8), hold it flat and away from metal.
- Compasses point to magnetic north, a few degrees from true north in Pakistan. For a mosque or a fixed prayer place, confirm with a qualified person or a proper survey.
