Why a location QR code
Street addresses send people to the middle of a building or the wrong side of a business park. A location QR code carries exact latitude and longitude and opens them in the phone's default maps app, ready for directions. You pick the point on a map when creating the code, and you can move it later if the entrance or meeting point changes.
- Opens exact coordinates instead of an address the map might misread.
- Gets people to entrances and gates that street addresses miss.
- Hands over to whichever maps app the phone already uses.
- Useful for places that have no postal address at all.
Venues and events
A code on the invitation points at the actual entrance rather than the middle of a large building.
Deliveries and site access
Coordinates for the loading gate save drivers a lap of the perimeter fence.
Outdoor and rural sites
Trailheads, plots and installations that no address would find.
Car parks and pick-up points
A code at the hotel desk or on the booking confirmation shows where the shuttle stop or taxi rank actually is.
Field service
Coordinates on the work order bring technicians to the right mast, pump or meter instead of the nearest street address.

Location QR Code Generator | Open in Any Maps App
A location QR code stays neutral about which maps app opens. Unlike a Google Maps or Apple Maps link tied to one platform, it lets the device's own default handle the destination.
What is this QR code?
A location QR code encodes coordinates (latitude/longitude) as a geo: URI, which the device opens in whatever maps app is set as default — not tied to a specific service.
Best use cases
- ✓A building facade sign with entrance coordinates for navigation.
- ✓A campsite parking spot marker not tied to a specific mapping service.
- ✓A meeting point marker on a hiking trail.
- ✓Coordinates for an outdoor event with no official street address.
How to generate your QR code
Click the spot on the map or paste latitude and longitude.
Zoom in and place the pin on the actual entrance, gate or meeting point.
Give the code a name that describes the place, such as North gate – deliveries.
Test the scan on the phone you would use to navigate and check where the pin lands.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which maps app opens when someone scans this?
On iOS it typically opens Apple Maps, and on Android it opens Google Maps, unless the app itself specifies otherwise.
Why choose location over a Google Maps or Apple Maps QR code?
It's the most neutral option when you don't want to push scanners toward one specific mapping service.
Where do I get coordinates?
Pick the point on the map when you create the code, or paste latitude and longitude if you already have them.
How precise is it?
Down to a few metres, which is enough to distinguish a specific door from the one around the corner.
Can I move the pin after printing?
Yes. Edit the coordinates in your dashboard and every printed code opens the new point on the next scan.
Does it start navigation straight away?
It opens the location in the maps app; the person then taps directions. That leaves them the choice of walking, driving or public transport.
Should I print the address too?
Yes, if there is one. Coordinates guide the phone, while a written address or landmark helps people confirm they are in the right place.
Can one code show several places?
No, each code opens one point. For a festival site or campus with several entrances, create one code per entrance and place each where it is needed.
