No I don’t have the specific problem you’re asking about. I can imagine (see) things in my head but I have problems visualise where I have been but that’s more of a memory deficit rather than not being able to visualise as such.
But if I try to meditate I cannot visualise anything! So instead of sitting still getting frustrated I try to do the mindful stuff.
Not really sure what I’m doing with it but for example if I go for a walk somewhere nice I try to walk slowly or even stop and just take in what’s around me. So I’ll try to be aware of how the breeze feels on my face, or the sound of leaves moving in a tree or the way the light falls on some water etc. To me that has the advantage of me focussing on something I don’t have to imagine, but I have to concentrate on being aware. It’s nice when it works and gives me a moment of calm.
