The gap is the straight-line distance from each mapped camera in San Juan to the nearest other one in San Juan. Half of the gaps are shorter than 100 feet, and the middle half run from under 20 feet to 400 feet. In San Juan, 24 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 northwest, with 9 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.

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