A direction is recorded for 93% of the cameras here (188 of 203 cameras).

The most common recorded direction is south, with 33 cameras. Because 5 cameras carry two directions and are counted once in each, the eight counts add up to 193 directions from 188 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 14 cameras here.

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