A location QR code stores latitude and longitude coordinates and opens them in a compatible map application. Verify the pin on a real phone before publishing the code.

Use cases

  • Venues, meeting points, and trail locations.
  • Delivery entrances and pickup zones.
  • Tourist information and outdoor signage.

How to create it

  1. Enter the QR content.
  2. Customize size, colors and logo.
  3. Generate the QR code in your browser.
  4. Download PNG, SVG or PDF and test it before publishing.

Example

geo: geo:-78.400364,-85.916993

FAQ

Which maps app opens the location?

The phone's default one — Google Maps on Android, Apple Maps on iOS. The code uses the standard geo format that both understand.

Why coordinates instead of an address?

Coordinates point at the exact spot with no geocoding guesswork — useful for building entrances, parking lots, event fields and anything without a street number.

Where do I get the coordinates?

Use the "Use my location" button in the generator, or long-press the spot in any maps app and copy the two numbers it shows.

Location QR code coordinates, map apps and accuracy

Capacity and limits

A geo: payload holds two decimal numbers, which makes it one of the smallest and most robust codes. Six decimal places pin a point to roughly ten centimetres — far more precision than any real-world use needs, and more digits only add density.

Device compatibility

Android opens geo: links in the default maps app directly. On iOS the handling is less uniform: Apple Maps understands the format, but some scanner apps and in-app browsers pass geo: links along inconsistently. Test on an iPhone before printing a run.

Common mistakes

  • Swapping latitude and longitude, which silently drops the pin in a different hemisphere instead of failing loudly.
  • Pointing at the centre of a building when the useful target is the entrance or the loading bay.
  • Using a location code where an address would serve better — people often want a name they can recognise, not a pin.

Printing and placement

Location codes go on signage read from a few metres, so scale the width to that distance: three metres of reading distance means roughly a 300 mm code. Outdoors, laminate or print on matte stock — glare defeats scanners more often than size does.
