The gap is the straight-line distance from each mapped camera in Buford to the nearest other one in Buford. Half of the gaps are shorter than 600 feet, and the middle half run from 250 feet to 0.3 miles. In Buford, 4 of 41 cameras stand within 200 feet (60 metres) of another, which usually means two on one pole or a group at one intersection.

A direction is recorded for 98% of the cameras here (40 of 41 cameras).

The most common recorded direction is east, with 8 cameras. Because 1 camera carries two directions and is counted once in each, the eight counts add up to 41 directions from 40 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 1 camera here.

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

Each distance is a straight line from a sample point to the nearest mapped camera of any make, and that camera can stand outside the boundary. The counts are floors: a camera nobody has added to OpenStreetMap is not on this page, and a pin can be out of date.
