The 118° result is an initial great-circle bearing: the shortest surface direction from Glasgow to the Kaaba. It is measured from true north, not magnetic north.
For a stable practical reference, compare the gold bearing shown on the north-up local map with a street, wall or distant landmark. If a phone compass disagrees, move away from metal and electronics, recalibrate it and check again.
