Qibla Finder shows which way devout Muslins should be facing when they pray. It shows you the shortest, i.e. Great Circle route to Mecca.

  1. In case you were wondering Tematangi is antipodal, situated on the opposite side of the earth, to Mecca, hence one can pray in any direction and be in compliance with Muslim guidance.

    Tematagi 21.40S 140.37W
    Meca 21.39N 39.86E

    I was looking for a place where my geographical focused entreaties to Santa Claus and God would coincide. I think Tematagi would work.
