A location QR code is a pin you can tape to a flyer. Wedding invitations, trailheads, pop-up markets, and “find us behind the warehouse” signs all work better when the map opens already zoomed to the right spot.
If your venue is easy to search, type the name the way it appears in Google Maps. If you are in a field, paste latitude and longitude from your phone’s compass or Maps. Test walking directions, not just the pin - parking lots are where people get lost.
FAQ: Location QR Code Generator
Should I use coordinates or an address?
An address or place name is easier to verify. Coordinates are better for trails, pop-up stalls, and sites without a postal address. If both are provided, coordinates win.
Which map app opens?
The phone decides. geo: links and Google Maps search URLs are widely understood. We encode a maps search URL when you use a place name.
