* In a long flight, how do we know Qibla and what time is the ground below us ?

* How do we convince ourselves with evidence of our location with reference to Kaba ?


WHAT IS APPLICATION ABOUT

When we are on land or at sea, we graphically place marker of our geographical location and the compelling animation will show the circles around Kaba reaching us. We will be guided to face the center of the circles. The circles are illustrated taking the Earth correctly as an ellipsoid (almost a sphere).

When we are on a plane, we specify our flight details and the application will guide us the Qibla with reference to the body of the plane (eg. at the tail end, towards the right wing). We can see the timing of the entire flight duration with reference to the ground-time and our iPhone time, with these information we decide when to pray.
No Internet and magnetic compasses required.
This application is just an Information Technology tool.
