How this direction is calculated
The 149° bearing is the great-circle heading from Bucharest (44.4268, 26.1025) to the Kaaba, measured clockwise from true north. A magnetic compass does not point to true north — the error, called magnetic declination, changes by place and by year. The live tool corrects for it.
