A direction is recorded for 96% of the cameras here (324 of 339 cameras).

The most common recorded direction is east, with 54 cameras. Because 2 cameras carry two directions and are counted once in each, the eight counts add up to 326 directions from 324 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 12 cameras here.

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