Why use a location QR code?

Practical guidance for creating, testing, publishing, and maintaining this type of QR code.

Make directions easier

A location QR code can take visitors from a printed surface to the intended map destination with fewer typing steps.

Help people find physical places

Use it for shops, offices, venues, event locations, property listings, pickup points, and meeting places.

Connect signs to maps

A poster or sign can provide both the location context and a scannable route to a map service.

Reduce address entry errors

Long addresses, unit numbers, and unfamiliar place names can be difficult to type correctly on a phone.

How to create your QR code

1. Choose the Location option in the QR Code Generator.

2. Enter or paste the map or location URL for the exact destination.

3. Generate the QR code and scan it to confirm that the intended place opens.

4. Check the pin, address, and map destination on a mobile device before publishing.

5. Download the code and place it where visitors will naturally see it while planning or traveling.

Best practices and useful tips

What should the destination contain?

Use a map URL or location destination that clearly identifies the correct place. If the location has multiple entrances or branches, verify that the pin and address are accurate.

Where can it be used?

Event invitations, storefronts, real-estate brochures, directional signs, pickup instructions, hotel information, campus materials, and local business cards are common examples.

Why test the map link?

Map services can change place pages, pins, or access information. A scan test lets you catch an incorrect destination before it reaches customers.
