What is a location QR code and how it works
A location QR code is a QR code that stores either a geo URI based on RFC 5870 (geo:48.8566,2.3522) or a Google Maps URL. Scan it with any phone camera and the default map app opens with the pin ready for directions. A geo URI works offline in the default map app on iOS or Android, while a Google Maps location QR code 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 pass, property signboard or trail marker. Print it on directional signs, tickets, signboards and trail posts to guide people across event routes, outdoor navigation or last-mile delivery points. Geo URI QR codes store the coordinates directly in the pattern, so the data stays fixed in the code once printed and works with the default map app. Use decimal-degree format such as 40.7128, -74.0060 for the best compatibility.
