A location QR code is a QR code that encodes either a geo URI under the RFC 5870 geo URI specification (geo:48.8566,2.3522) or a Google Maps URL. Scan it with any phone camera and the default maps app opens with the pin already loaded, ready for turn-by-turn directions. A geo URI works offline in the default maps app on iOS or Android. A Google Maps link needs internet access but can show the place name and reviews. The Google Maps Platform documentation explains shareable map link formats. On Apple devices, the Apple Maps URL scheme shows how map deep links open in Maps.
Add your logo, brand colours and AI-generated designs so the code matches your event flyer, venue ticket, estate agent board or trail marker. Print it on directional signs, tickets, boards and trail posts to guide people through event access, remote routes or last-mile delivery journeys. A location QR for Google Maps can also turn a map link into a scannable code for printed materials. Geo URI codes store coordinates directly in the pattern, so the data stays built into the QR code once printed and works in any default maps app. Use decimal degrees such as 40.7128, -74.0060 for the best parsing compatibility.
Choose a geo URI or Google Maps URL, style the QR code with your logo and AI-generated designs, then download it in PNG, SVG or PDF for signs, tickets, boards or trail markers.
Decide between a geo URI (offline, any default maps app, RFC 5870) or a Google Maps URL (online, Google-specific, place name and reviews). Use decimal degrees such as 40.7128, -74.0060 for the best parsing compatibility.
Add your logo, brand colours and pixel patterns. Choose from 1200+ templates or generate QR Art to match the look of your event flyer, venue ticket, board or trail marker.
Export in PNG for screen use, SVG for print or PDF for layered design files. Print on directional signs, tickets, boards, site cards, drop-point markers or tourism leaflets. Test the scan first on iOS and Android to make sure the maps app opens properly.
Encode any geo URI or Google Maps URL into a one-scan navigation point, add your logo and AI-generated designs for instant recognition, and export ready for signs, tickets, boards or trail markers.
Static geo URI codes do not include analytics by design. Every URL, Instagram or Landing Pages QR in your library can track scans, devices and locations in real time.

Turn long Google Maps URLs into custom short links with UTM parameters. Test placement variations across signs, tickets, boards or tourism leaflets, then retire them safely when an event ends.

Customise your location QR
On an estate agent board or event flyer, the location QR opens the route while a vCard QR saves a contact record to the address book in one tap. Use both together for full event-day coverage.
Save contact details
A location QR delivers the venue pin while a WiFi QR joins the venue network without typing a password. Use both on event tickets, hotel key cards and venue welcome cards.
Join the network
A location QR opens the venue pin while a PDF QR loads the event programme, venue floor plan or property brochure in one scan. Use both on event tickets and estate agent boards.
Open the PDF document
A location QR encodes a geo URI for any default maps app, while a URL QR encodes any http(s) link that opens in the browser. Use both on event flyers for site and route access.
Open any webpage
A location QR opens venue directions while an email QR opens a pre-filled message to your inbox. Use both on event flyers and estate agent boards.
Capture email sign-ups
A location QR provides the route while a WhatsApp QR starts a one-tap chat with the host or organiser for last-minute questions. Use both on venue tickets and property boards.

A location QR code is a scannable code that opens a geographic point on a map when scanned. To create one with QR Code AI, enter latitude and longitude in decimal-degree format such as 40.7128, -74.0060, or paste a Google Maps URL. QR Code AI encodes either the geo URI under RFC 5870 or the map link. Add your logo and AI-generated designs, then download in PNG, SVG or PDF. Static location codes store the coordinates directly in the QR pattern and work on any device with a camera.
A location QR uses a geo URI under RFC 5870 (geo:lat,lng) and works offline in any default maps app, which makes it ideal for trail markers and remote signs where signal can be unreliable. A Google Maps QR encodes a maps.google.com URL that needs internet access but can show the place name, business listing and reviews. Choose a geo URI for outdoor or low-signal use, and a Google Maps link where reviews help drive action.
Yes. Location QR codes are free on QR Code AI. Create and customise them with your logo, brand colours and AI-designed templates, then download in PNG, SVG or PDF without watermarks. Native geo URI location QR codes are static by design, which means the coordinates are fixed once printed. If you need editable destinations and scan tracking, use a URL-based map QR instead.
A native geo URI QR code stores the coordinates permanently in the encoded image, so it cannot be edited after printing. If you may need to change the destination later, create a URL QR that points to a Google Maps share link or a hosted Landing Pages destination instead, then update that link from your dashboard. Choose a URL QR for moving venues or seasonal pop-ups, and a geo URI QR for permanent markers.
A location QR encodes a geo URI directly into the pattern using the RFC 5870 geo URI specification, so it can open any default maps app offline with the pin already set. A Google Maps shared link works online through Google Maps and can show the place name and reviews. A vCard QR saves contact details such as name, phone, email and address, but it does not guide people to coordinates. Choose a location QR for offline-friendly navigation, and pair it with a vCard QR on estate agent boards when you want both routing and saved contact details.
