Salaam all,
I've developed a site, QiblaDirection.com, that uses GoogleEarth to determine the direction to Makkah. I believe there are no sites *currently* that uses GoogleEarth. Others use GoogleMaps which isn't entirely accurate as the GoogleMaps uses a map that is projected on a flat surface, whilst GoogleEarth is projected on a globe. QiblaDirection.com uses GoogleMaps and GoogleEarth to draw a line between your location anywhere in the world and the Kaaba in Makkah. You can then zoom in to street level and use your local surrounds to determine the direction. It will also automatically give the prayer times for your location.
I've only just finished it, so it would be great if you could take a moment and tell me what you think. I'm open to suggestions.
Thanks
Drew
