Location (Map / GPS) QR Code

Scan and jump straight into a maps app pointed at an address or a precise set of coordinates — perfect for venues, trailheads and delivery drop-offs.

Build a location code using the Text tab

Two ways to do it

Option 1 — geo URI (works well with GPS coordinates): paste a geo: link into the Text tab:

geo:37.7749,-122.4194

Option 2 — a maps link (most reliable across phones): generate a URL QR code pointing at a Google/Apple Maps share link, e.g. https://maps.google.com/?q=37.7749,-122.4194.

Which should you pick?

The geo: URI is simple but not every phone has a default app registered to handle it. A standard maps URL opens reliably in a browser on any device and then hands off to a maps app if one's installed — for public signage, that's the safer bet.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between geo: and a maps URL?

geo: is a native mobile URI that some phones route directly to a maps app; a maps.google.com link works everywhere because it's just a normal webpage.

Can I include a label, not just coordinates?

Yes — most maps URL formats accept a place name or query string in place of raw coordinates.
