What is a Google Maps QR code and how it works

A Google Maps QR code is a QR code, also known as a location QR code or directions QR code, that opens turn-by-turn navigation to the exact pin you’ve encoded. The code can store a maps.app.goo.gl short link or a full Google Maps URL with coordinates based on the geo URI scheme (RFC 5870). After scanning, users land on the pinned location with directions, photos, opening hours and reviews ready to view.

Add your logo, brand colours and AI-generated artwork for custom designs that match your shopfront, property listing or event venue. Print it on signboards, shop windows, hotel arrival leaflets, restaurant table displays, building directories, exhibition signage or clinic parking maps. The encoded URL opens the native Google Maps app on iOS or Android when installed. On iPhones without Google Maps, it can fall back to Apple Maps or maps.google.com in any modern browser. Every Google Maps QR is dynamic by default, so you can update the destination address without reprinting materials when you move premises or refresh a campaign.

Turn a Google Maps link into a QR code in 3 steps

Copy your Google Maps share link, customise the QR with your logo and AI-generated designs, then download it in PNG, SVG or PDF for signboards, shop windows or venue invites.

  1. Step 1

    Copy your Google Maps share link

    Open Google Maps, search for the address or drop a pin at the exact location, tap Share, then copy the maps.app.goo.gl short link or the full google.com/maps URL with embedded coordinates.

  2. Step 2

    Customise the QR code

    Paste the link, then choose from 1200+ templates or generate QR Art to match your shop window, signboard, hotel arrival leaflet or venue invitation. Add your logo and brand colours. Check Google Maps Help if you’re not sure how to copy the share link.

  3. Step 3

    Print and share

    Download in PNG, SVG or PDF for any printer or screen. Print on signboards, shop windows, table displays or venue invitations. Test the scan on iOS and Android before large-scale printing to make sure the Maps handoff works properly on every device.
