When someone mentions cross streets, how do you picture them?
Let’s say someone mentions a random place at Tenth and Main. You know where that is, generally, but it’s not a spot you pass all the time, so you’re trying to get a fix on that intersection and what’s there.
So—how do you search for that location in your mental filing system?
Do you picture it abstractly, like a map?
Do you visualize it from overhead, like a Google map, and zoom in?
Do you picture some part of Main that you do know and then mentally travel down it until you get to Tenth?
Do you imagine the closest location that’s familiar and then navigate from there?
Or do you skip the memory tricks and just drive or Google your way there and see?
What is your mental-visual process like for finding geographical locations?
