What is a Location QR Code?
A location QR code stores a geographic location — either as coordinates (latitude and longitude) or as a search query like an address or place name. When someone scans it, their phone opens the maps app and shows the location. One more tap and navigation starts.
Location QR codes are perfect for any situation where you need to point people to a specific place. Instead of giving verbal directions or hoping people type the address correctly into their maps app, you give them a QR code they can scan and navigate straight there. No confusion, no wrong turns.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which maps app does the QR code open?
It depends on the device. Most phones open the default maps app — Google Maps on Android and Apple Maps on iPhone. The user can usually choose which app handles the location link.
Should I use a search query or coordinates?
A search query like 'Central Park, New York' is easier to read and works well for well-known locations. Coordinates are more precise and better for exact spots that might not have a named address.
How accurate are the coordinates?
Coordinates are very precise — they point to an exact spot on the map. You can find your exact coordinates on Google Maps by right-clicking on a spot and selecting 'What's here?'
Does the location QR code work offline?
No. The QR code itself can be scanned offline, but displaying the map and starting navigation requires an internet connection on the scanning device.
Can I use a full street address as the search query?
Yes. Enter any address, landmark name, or place name in the search query field. The maps app will search for it just like you typed it in manually.
