Is there some reason you're not using built-in support to properly escape strings that are part of URLs?
NSString* mapType = @"hybrid";
NSString* location = @"39.7452,-104.98916(Test point label)";
mapquestURLString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"http://mapq.st/?maptype=%@&q=%@";,
[mapType stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding],
[location stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
