Free Location QR Code Generator

Print exact coordinates instead of an address that might be ambiguous or hard to type. One scan opens Google Maps with the pin already dropped — no signup, and the code never expires.

Where it helps

Wherever a text address falls short

A street address can be ambiguous, hard to find, or simply not exist for the spot you mean. Exact coordinates remove the guesswork, and printing them as a QR code means a phone can act on them immediately.

Event invitations

Skip the ambiguous street address. One scan drops a pin exactly where guests should arrive.

Property listings

Print exact coordinates on a flyer or window sign so buyers can navigate straight to a viewing.

Trailheads & outdoor signage

Coordinates work where street addresses do not — parks, trailheads, campsites, remote venues.

Meeting points

A precise pin for a pickup spot, a market stall, or a booth at a large venue, printed on a badge or table card.

Map link vs geo:

Why the default format matters

There are two ways to encode a location in a QR code. A plain Google Maps link (https://maps.google.com/?q=...) opens reliably on every phone, because it is just a web link the camera app already knows how to handle.

The geo: URI scheme is the technically native format and some Android apps read it directly, but iOS Camera support has been inconsistent across versions. That is why the Maps link is the default here, with geo: offered as an option for anyone who specifically needs it.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About Location QR Codes

What happens when someone scans a location QR code?

By default the code opens a Google Maps link at the coordinates you entered, which works reliably on both Android and iPhone. You can switch to the raw geo: coordinate format instead, which some Android apps read natively, though iOS support for it is inconsistent.

Where do I find the exact latitude and longitude for a place?

Open the location in Google Maps, right-click (or long-press on mobile) the exact spot, and the coordinates appear at the top of the menu ready to copy. You can also tap "Use my current location" in the generator to fill in your own coordinates automatically.

Why does the generator default to a Maps link instead of geo: coordinates?

The geo: URI scheme is the technically "correct" way to encode coordinates, but iOS Camera does not always recognise it and may fail to offer to open Maps. A plain Google Maps link scans reliably on every phone, so it is the safer default; geo: is available if you specifically need it.

Can I use a location QR code without an internet connection?

The code itself works offline, since the coordinates are encoded directly in the QR matrix. Opening the link still requires the scanning phone to have a connection to load Maps, the same as tapping any map link would.

Is this useful for more than store locations?

Yes. Common uses include directions on event invitations, a precise meeting point on a printed flyer, a trailhead marker for outdoor signage, or coordinates on a property listing. Anywhere a text address is ambiguous, exact coordinates remove the guesswork.
