Howard,  Here's a bit more detail.  On the MapQuest.com home page there
is a "MAPS" icon at the top right corner.  Click on that to get to the
maps page.  About half way down on the left are options.  Click "Map by
Lat/Long".  You have two choices: Degrees, Minutes, Second or Decimal
Degrees.  In either case, remember that because we are in the Western
hemisphere, Degrees Longitude must be entered as a negative.  FYI, some
sites/software let you enter N/S/E/W, others make you specify + or -.  
 
To convert coordinates, just remember that there are 60 minutes in a
degree and 60 seconds in a minute.  Then the math is easy.
 
Degrees, Minutes, Seconds:   60 * .909 = 55    60 * .663 = 40
 
    Latitude:      D = 33   M = 17   S = 55
    Longitude:    D = -111   M = 18   S = 40
 
Degrees:    17.909 / 60 = .2985    18.663 / 60 = .3111
 
    Latitude:      D = 33.2985
    Longitude:    D = -111.3111
 
Hope that was helpful,

Mapquest prefers decimal degrees rather than decimal minutes.
You can click on the map on each cache page to go to the mapquest map
for that cache.
Here
<http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?latlongtype=decimal&latitude=33.29
8483&longitude=-111.31105>  is a link to the one for Queen of the Hill.

I have tried to use map quest to get a map.  Can not seem to get system
to give me a map.  Suppose I wanted to get the following map using:
N 33 17.909 W111 18.663 (Queen of the Hill Cache)
 
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks
