Massaging your calves for 3-7 minutes up and down several times a day should help with this. Also drink more water.

Every leg cramp has its own origin
Therefore your problem do not have a universal set of points to effectively treat you you would need to be examined

There is not one specific point to relieve leg cramps, but rather a series of points. To help with your leg cramps, the answer may be as simple as making sure you’re taking a good food-derived, methylated multivitamin every day. Leg cramps can be from vitamin and mineral deficiencies.

I don't know of any pressure points for leg cramps. You might try rubbing vinegar on the leg to stop the cramps.

They are located on top of the calf.

If you want to try acupuncture for your leg cramps, go to NCCAOM.org and use their Find a Practitioner lookup to find a board certified, state licensed acupuncturist in your area.

For one - I don't use a lot of acupressure. In my experience it's not as effective or as comfortable as acupuncture (using needles).

For two - there are 6 primary channels and 5 extraordinary vessels running on the legs. Your question has given me no idea of the location of your cramping relative to these structures, so I have no way of providing you anything that might resemble useful information.
