Can you tell me where the U spot(s) is/are? I seem not to find a proper map of EHAM on the Internet. Thanks!

They are on the east-side of the northern part of the centre runway, so between the marks 18C en 09 on our map here:
http://www.scramble.nl/airfield-guide/schiphol . Details of the numbering are in the map for 'Aircraft parking spots' that you find under More Info there.
