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.
Choose a geo URI or Google Maps URL, customise the QR code with your logo and AI pixel styling, then download it in PNG, SVG or PDF for signs, tickets, signboards or trail markers.
Pick between geo URI (offline, works with the default map app, RFC 5870) or a Google Maps URL (online, Google-specific, includes place name and reviews). Use decimal-degree format 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 Code Art to match your event flyer, venue pass, signboard or trail marker style.
Export in PNG for screen use, SVG for print or PDF for layered design files. Print on directional signs, tickets, signboards, site cards, drop-point markers or tourism brochures. Test the scan first on both iOS and Android to make sure the map app opens properly.
Encode any geo URI or Google Maps URL into a single-scan navigation point, add your logo and AI pixel styling for instant recognition, and export ready-to-print files for signs, tickets, signboards or trail markers.
Static geo URI codes do not include analytics by design. Every URL, Instagram or landing page 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 different placements across directional signs, tickets, signboards or tourism brochures, then retire them safely after the event.
Shorten location links
Add your logo, brand colours and AI-generated pixel styling to every map pin code. Choose from 1200+ templates for events, venues, property teams, construction, delivery, trail guides, tourism and real estate.
Customise your location QR
On a property signboard or event flyer, the location QR opens the route while a vCard QR saves a contact straight into the address book with one tap. Use both together for smoother visitor follow-up.
Save contact details
A location QR opens the venue pin, while a WiFi QR lets guests join the network without typing the password. It’s a useful pairing for event tickets, hotel keycards and welcome cards.
Join the network
A location QR opens the venue pin, while a PDF QR loads the event programme, floor plan or property brochure in one scan. This works well on event tickets and real estate signboards.
Open the PDF document
A location QR stores a geo URI for the default map app, while a URL QR stores any http(s) link that opens in the browser. Use both on event flyers when people need the site and the route.
Open any webpage
A location QR opens directions to the venue, while an email QR opens a pre-filled message to your inbox. Pair them on event flyers and property signboards to capture enquiries faster.
Capture email sign-ups
A location QR gives the route, while a WhatsApp QR starts a one-tap chat with the host or organiser for last-minute questions. It’s a practical combo for venue tickets and property signboards.

A location QR code is a scannable code that opens a map point when someone scans it. To create one in QR Code AI, enter the latitude and longitude in decimal-degree format such as 40.7128, -74.0060, or paste a Google Maps URL. QR Code AI then encodes either a geo URI based on RFC 5870 or the map link. You can add your logo and AI pixel styling, then download it in PNG, SVG or PDF.
A location QR code uses a geo URI based on RFC 5870 in the format geo:lat,lng and can open in the default map app, which is useful for trail markers and places with weak signal. A Google Maps QR code stores a maps.google.com link, so it needs internet access but can show the place name, business listing and reviews. Choose geo URI for offline-friendly navigation and Google Maps when reviews matter.
Yes. You can create a free QR code for location use on QR Code AI. Add your logo, brand colours and AI-designed pixel styling, then download it in PNG, SVG or PDF without watermarks. Native geo URI location QR codes are static by design, so the coordinates are fixed in the code itself after printing. If you need an editable destination with tracking, use a URL-based QR instead.
A native geo URI QR code stores the coordinates permanently in the image, so it cannot be changed after printing. If you may need to update the destination later, create a URL QR that points to a Google Maps share link or a hosted landing page instead. That option is better for moving venues, temporary events or seasonal pop-ups, while geo URI works best for permanent markers.
A Location QR stores a geo URI based on RFC 5870 directly in the QR pattern, so it can open the default map app with the pin ready. A Google Maps shared link opens through Google Maps online 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 navigate to coordinates. Choose Location QR for navigation and pair it with vCard when contact saving also matters.
