How does a location QR code work?

A location QR code encodes GPS coordinates using the geo: URI scheme. When scanned, it opens the phone's default maps app (Google Maps, Apple Maps, etc.) at the exact location you specified.

How do I find my GPS coordinates?

Open Google Maps, right-click (or long-press) on the location you want, and copy the coordinates shown. They look like "40.7128, -74.0060" — paste the latitude and longitude into the fields above.

Which maps app does it open?

The QR code uses the standard geo: URI, so it opens whatever the user's default maps app is — Google Maps on Android, Apple Maps on iOS, or others if set.

Is a location QR code better than a URL QR code for maps?

For physical locations, the geo: format is more universal as it works with any maps app without requiring Google Maps specifically. For a Google Maps link with reviews and directions, use the URL QR code generator instead.

Where is the best place to use a location QR code?

Event invitations, delivery instructions, store signage, business cards, and venue guides are all great uses. It lets people navigate to your exact location with one scan.
