Three ways to face the qibla from Brunswick, Ohio

  1. 1. Phone compass

    Open a compass app, move the phone in a figure of 8 to calibrate, keep it away from metal, then turn until the compass reads 53°.

  2. 2. Start from east

    Face east, then turn 37° to the left. A right angle is 90°, so 37° is about a third of a right angle.
