A direction is recorded for 95% of the cameras here (54 of 57 cameras).

The most common recorded direction is east, with 11 cameras. Because 1 camera carries two directions and is counted once in each, the eight counts add up to 55 directions from 54 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 3 cameras here.

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