Higher levels keep the code readable when part of it is damaged or covered by a logo (L about 7%, M 15%, Q 25%, H 30%), but the pattern gets denser. M suits most uses; adding a logo switches to Q.

What Is a Location QR Code?

A location QR code opens a map at a specific place when someone scans it, so they can start directions with one more tap instead of typing an address. This generator makes a Google Maps link by default, because it works on both iPhone and Android cameras — the older geo: format only opens on Android.

How to Use This Generator

  1. 1Choose how to give the placePaste a Google Maps link, type an address, or enter coordinates (or tap "Use my current location").
  2. 2Check the pinTap "Open in Google Maps" to confirm it points at the right spot before you print.
  3. 3Style the codePick colours and shapes, or add a logo.
  4. 4Download and printSave it as PNG or SVG for invitations, signs, flyers or delivery notes.

Link, Address or Coordinates — Which to Use

  1. 1A Maps link — best for businessesShare a place from Google Maps and paste the link. Scanning opens your listing with its name, opening hours, photos, reviews and a Directions button — everything a customer needs.
  2. 2An address — quickest to typeGood for homes and venues. Scanning searches Google Maps for the address, so include the city and postcode to make sure it lands on the right place.
  3. 3Coordinates — for spots with no addressA park entrance, a festival meeting point, a delivery drop-off behind a building. Coordinates mark the exact spot, and "Use my current location" fills them in while you stand there.

Common Ways to Use a Location QR Code

  • Wedding or event invitations — guests scan to get directions to the venue.
  • Business cards — send customers straight to your storefront or office.
  • Delivery instructions — mark the exact drop-off point for couriers.
  • Real estate listings — link a printed flyer to the property's exact location.
  • Trail markers or outdoor signage — help visitors navigate to specific spots.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens when someone scans a location QR code?

Their phone opens Google Maps (the app if installed, otherwise the browser) at the place, ready for directions. With a Maps link, they see your full listing with reviews and hours.

How do I find the latitude and longitude of a place?

Open Google Maps, right-click (or long-press on a phone) the exact spot, and tap the numbers that appear to copy them. Paste both into the Latitude box and the tool splits them for you. Standing at the spot? Tap "Use my current location" instead.

Does this work with both Google Maps and Apple Maps?

Yes. The default code is a Google Maps link, which opens on every phone — iPhone users without the Google Maps app see the place in Safari. You can also paste an Apple Maps link. The optional "geo:" code opens the phone's own map app offline, but iPhone cameras don't recognise it, so it's best only for Android-only uses.

Is my location data stored anywhere?

No. The QR code is generated entirely in your browser — the link, address or coordinates you enter are never sent to or stored on our servers. "Use my current location" asks your permission and the position stays on your device.

Why use coordinates instead of just printing the address as text?

A printed address still requires someone to type or search it manually, and ambiguous or hard-to-find addresses can lead to a wrong turn. Coordinates encoded in a QR code drop the exact pin instantly, with zero typing and zero ambiguity.

Can I show a business name on the pin?

Yes — paste your business's Google Maps link. The code opens your actual listing, name and all. (A pin label is also available for geo: codes, which Android shows on the dropped pin.)
