A direction is recorded for 96% of the cameras here (103 of 107 cameras).

The most common recorded direction is south, with 18 cameras. Because 7 cameras carry two directions and are counted once in each, the eight counts add up to 110 directions from 103 cameras. A direction of exactly 0 is treated as not recorded, because that value is often left on a pin nobody set; that leaves out 2 cameras here.

The direction is the compass bearing a mapper noted for the camera, as it stood when they looked.
