Orientation statistics per group relative to geographic North (gN), magnetic North (mN), and relative to the trained magnetic compass (MC) direction. Sample size (n), mean direction, mean vector length as measure of scatter, and the P value for the Rayleigh test are given for each group. See Fig. 1.
