Location QR Code Generator
Drop in your coordinates, generate the code, print it. Anyone who scans gets your exact location in their maps app, with directions ready to go. No app needed, no link to copy.
Privacy Notice: Your location coordinates are only used to generate the QR code and are never stored on our servers unless you choose to make it editable (free with a free account).
Telling someone where to go is awkward. You paste an address, they search it, it pulls up the wrong entrance, and they're calling you from the parking lot. A location QR code skips all of that. Scan it and the phone opens the exact GPS coordinates in the user's default maps app, ready for turn-by-turn directions.
It's free and there's no account needed. Enter your latitude and longitude, generate, and you've got a QR code for your address that works on any smartphone. Need to update the location later without reprinting? Save it as a dynamic QR code (free with a free ProQR.codes account) and push the change from your dashboard. The printed code keeps working.
The map QR code encodes a standard geo: URI, so scanning opens coordinates in Google Maps, Apple Maps, and every other navigation app. No app-specific link, no redirects. Just coordinates, handed directly to whatever maps app the person already uses.
Key Features
- Opens in Google Maps, Apple Maps, and any navigation app that reads the standard geo: URI
- Exact GPS coordinate targeting, not a fuzzy address search
- Instant turn-by-turn directions from wherever the person is standing
- Works globally with any coordinates
- Update the pinned location without reprinting (free with a free account, as a dynamic QR)
- Scan analytics to see when and where your location code is being scanned (free with a free account)
Use Cases
- Business cards and print ads: drop a QR code for your address instead of a typed street address
- Trade show and event venues: help attendees find their way across a large venue or campus
- Restaurants and retail: storefront window stickers, table tents, delivery instructions
- Tourism and travel guides: pinpoint trailheads, landmarks, or meeting points
- Delivery and pickup coordination: point couriers to the exact loading dock or entrance
- Pop-up and seasonal locations: update the pin from your dashboard when you move
Best Practices
- Verify coordinates before printing. A decimal off can put the pin in the wrong block.
- Use a dynamic QR code (free account) if the location might change. One dashboard update, no reprint.
- Add a short label below the code: "Scan for directions" removes any guesswork about what the code does
- For venues with a tricky entrance, pin the actual door rather than the building centroid
- Print at least 300 dpi for reliable scanning at arm's length from a wall or sign

Yes. The QR uses the standard geo: URI, so scanning opens the coordinates in the phone's default maps app, including Google Maps and Apple Maps. There's no app-specific link involved, which means it works regardless of whether someone is on Android or iPhone.
