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

I can remember information, I just don't see it visually. Thinking of an apartment I lived on up to 8 years ago, I remember the direction I entered from, what room came after what, how high the windows were and what kind of furniture I used to have in what position.

This is how i describe it. I can remember my dead dog - small, black, cute, foxlike tail- but i can't picture a dog. Sitting in my living room i know where my bedroom is, what it looks like, and what's between here and there; but i don't 'see' it.
