Which map app does it open?

Our generator creates a universal Google Maps link. On most devices, this will open the Google Maps app if installed, or the browser version if not. It is the most compatible method.

How do I find my Latitude and Longitude?

On Google Maps desktop: Right-click any spot on the map. The first item in the menu is the coordinates. Click to copy them.

Does it work offline?

The QR code itself can be scanned offline, but the user will likely need an internet connection to load the map and get directions.

Can I use an address instead?

For precise results, we use coordinates. However, you can use our URL Generator and paste a link to your Google Maps address search result if you prefer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Map QR codes.

Why not just use an address?

Addresses can be ambiguous or cover large areas (like a park or stadium). Coordinates point to an exact geographic spot, ensuring visitors find the specific meeting point or parking entrance.

Does it work on Apple Maps?

Yes. While the underlying link is a Google Maps link, iOS devices usually handle these gracefully, either opening them in the Google Maps app (if installed) or the browser, where Apple Maps can often intercept directions.

Is it free?

Yes, generating this location QR code is completely free and requires no signup.

Can I track who scanned it?

Not with this static tool. If you need scan analytics (e.g., how many people scanned your storefront QR), you should use our Dynamic QR Code service.
