We get loads of American TV shows and movies, so I think most Europeans
have a reasonable idea of what American cities look like, on a basic
level. The only real problem I think I run into are the weird names you
give to streets over there (numbers, SE, NW, and all that).

I found Sprawl Sites a pretty good sourcebook to get an idea of the
layout of buildings (at least in SR), even though the maps are very plain
and a bit simplified. Also the maps in the back of the Seattle Sourcebook
help in visualizing what Seattle looks like -- they make it so easy to
point to them and say "You're about here, and this is where the corp's
offices are."
