Frequently Asked Questions
Does the QR code open Google Maps?
Yes. Scanning the code opens Google Maps on the phone and shows your address or coordinates as a map pin. Depending on the device, the map may open in the Google Maps app or in the phone browser.
Is Location QR Code Generator free?
Yes, it is completely free. No sign-up, no watermarks and no limits.
Does it store my address or coordinates?
No. The code is generated entirely in your browser. Your address and coordinates never leave your device.
Can I use a location QR code for my shop or restaurant?
Yes. It works well for shop windows, restaurant tables, event venues and parking areas, because customers can open directions in one scan instead of typing a long address.
What size should I print a location QR code?
For a shop window or poster, print at least 4 cm square. For a table tent or business card, 2 cm is enough. Keep enough contrast so it scans on the first try.
What Is a Location QR Code?
A location QR code is a QR code that stores a map link instead of plain text. When someone scans it, their phone opens a map and drops a pin on the place you encoded - no typing, no searching, no wrong address. You can build the code from a street address or from a pair of latitude and longitude coordinates.
Why Use a Location QR Code?
Typing an address into a map app is the slowest part of visiting a new place. A location QR code removes that step: one scan and the navigation starts. For businesses, that means fewer calls asking for directions, fewer customers who give up halfway, and more people actually arriving at your door.
It also works for events, parking areas and tourist spots, where a printed sign with a QR code is far more useful than a line of text nobody reads.
Best Places to Use a Location QR Code
Print your location QR code on a shop window, a restaurant table tent, an event badge, a parking sign, a flyer or the back of a business card. Put it next to your opening hours or your menu, so visitors can plan the trip while they decide what to order.
Make sure the code is large enough to scan comfortably and test it with a couple of different phones before printing a large batch. A well-placed location QR code turns interest into an actual visit.
