Towards Mecca, look to a world map.

Answer:

There are two potential solutions to the location of Mecca from any place in the world using maps. One is to use a Mercator map (a flat map) and draw a line from the location towards mecca. the other is to use a globe of the world to the same purpose. The second method provides the great circle direction, a shorter distance.

Alternately there are programs available on line (see link) that provide the direction for any city to Mecca. Enter the city which is the stating point and the direction will be calculated.
