A direction is recorded for 89% of the cameras here (65 of 73 cameras).

The most common recorded direction is northwest, with 19 cameras. Because 34 cameras carry two directions and are counted once in each, the eight counts add up to 99 directions from 65 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.
