Well, I'm thinking they have to have a destination in mind, even if its from
a map.  Maybe street intersections.  In order to be discreet in front of the
muggles, the wizard should have an idea of a proper...er...landing spot.
Maybe wizard maps show appropriate disapparation locations...kind of like
the floo network and the fireplace network.  Aha! a potential new department
for the MoM.  I don't think each wizard would have had to have been to a
place to apparate there, but some sort of prior navigational planning should
be.

did that help?
