I tend to use both street names and land marks. Especially if I'm going to
a place i've never been, I ask that people give me a hint as to what
landmarks there are in the area. Whenever I give directions I give
directions as to which streets to follow, and I also tell people to look
for certain land marks (Such as when I tell friends how to get to my
house, I say, go down reservation, look for the AMR building, then turn
left on Lynscott Dr, which is the street that is right across from the AMR
building).
