I'm curious how that kind of visual/spatial memory interacts with the inability to visualize your imagination.

No. I understand what the layout should be like, and which way to turn to do certain things. But I can't, for example, remember the color of the walls, or have a good feel for how big the space was, or actually imagine it visually in any way. All of the points are just information. I know that there are pictures on the left wall, but I don't remember and can't visualize where on the wall they are, what height or how many there are, etc.
