Barry,
Google "Grid Square Map" and you can select many maps that make grid
location very easy.
Icom makes a nice PDF one available here:

Also, once you operate VHF more frequently, you'll get to know where they
are just like anything else.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Grid square is a dumb exchange
My first time on 6m this weekend, just playing around in the contest.
On a band with such spotty propagation, it would be nice to know the QTH
of the stations being worked. Short of keeping a grid sq. map handy,
there's no way to know where each grid is. How about state or section
in the exchange, too?
