A direction is recorded for 75% of the cameras here (33 of 44 cameras).

The most common recorded directions are east and west, with 8 cameras each. Because 2 cameras carry two directions and are counted once in each, the eight counts add up to 35 directions from 33 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.
