How this direction is calculated
The 292° bearing is the great-circle heading from Makassar (-5.1477, 119.4327) 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.
