Option #2 - Create a link to a results page from scratch
Link directly to a MapQuest map by creating a link for use on your website.

Here's how: Say you want users to get a map of your business address. In this example, we'll use a U.S. address: 555 17th St, Denver, CO 80202.

Step 1: Start with this base URL:

http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?cid=lfmaplink

Step 2: Now add your address information using the parameters described in the chart below. Each parameter should be separated by an ampersand "&". Within each parameter, replace each space with a plus "+" symbol:

http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?address=555+17th+St&city=Denver &state=CO&zipcode=80202&country=US&cid=lfmaplink


Step 3: Add the html code around the URL to make the whole thing a link:

<A HREF="http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp? address=555+17th+St&city=Denver&state=CO&zipcode=80202&country= US&cid=lfmaplink">Map This Location</A>


 Sample HTML:  Example:
(Map link in this example is coded as "555 17th St, Denver, CO 80202")
