I research these places online to learn a little bit about them, and then I sent the client links to the photos I plan to use as a reference. As an example, the map I am making with you today is of Houston, and the client wanted to include Brennan’s Restaurant on that map. Dually, I sent over a link to this photo of Brennan’s to the client for approval on angle and accuracy.
