How this direction is calculated
The 119° bearing is the great-circle heading from Leeds (53.8008, -1.5491) 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.
