How this direction is calculated
The 69° bearing is the great-circle heading from Freetown (8.4657, -11.7799) 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.
