Should I have picked the shortest? may be. But at least I gave the option to choose what you want. I had to choose one as the default method and I chose direct.

You also have the option of choosing direct method or shortest. It seems that in North America, shortest is the preferred method. Yes. You also have the option of choosing direct method or shortest.

The direct path method only works in the special case where the distance is short and the arc of the earth can be ignored. In fact, over short distances, the direct path method and great circle are one and the same. That is because the great circle around the earth is also the most direct path from point to point - whether near or far. The difference crops up when people move far from the Laba and apply the direct route method by on a flat world map. May Allah bless you for your effort and bridge the gap between brothers who pray at different mosques because of this qibla issue.
