Qibla from Jakarta — common questions

Which direction is the Qibla from Jakarta? +
295° from true north — facing west-northwest. This is the great-circle (shortest-path) bearing from Jakarta to the Kaaba in Mecca, the direction Muslims face in salah.
Should I use true north or magnetic north? +
The 295° bearing is from TRUE north. Phone compasses read magnetic north, which differs by the local magnetic declination — most map and qibla apps correct for this automatically; a physical compass needs the local declination added or subtracted.
What if I pray a few degrees off? +
Scholars agree that facing the general direction (jihat al-Kaaba) is sufficient when you cannot verify precisely — a small error does not invalidate the prayer. Verify with a compass or landmarks when you can.
