But otherwise, unless you somehow don’t know where you are, an ordinary compass would do. If you’re in the US and a Jew praying, you just face East. Apparently God isn’t that picky.

There’s some atoll in the middle of the Pacific that’s the farthest point away from Mecca; a Muslim there could pray in any direction and be cool. Though I have no idea if Muslims require more exactitude in their prayer-direction than Jews do.

We’re supposed to try to be as accurate as possible, but if it can’t be determined then your best guess or any direction is fine.

Ugh, stayed up till 7am then slept till 1pm. Still groggy. Need more coffee. Re-lurking…
