My family gives me street and road names, landmarks, etc.. which doesn't work for me.

What I really need is an address so that I can drive to the location once. After that, in my head I'm telling myself, "fork to the right, weird house, sharp turn, field, slow down because it's right after the old barn."

Either that, or I need them to say something like "remember where the old movie theater used to be? The one where your brother broke his tooth? It's the road to the left next to the gas station and it's the third driveway on the right."

After I drive somewhere once I can just get a feeling when I'm close to where I need to turn, or need to be, but for that first drive, you better give me exact coordinates.
