Location QR Code Generator — open a spot on the map

Scanning opens the maps app at your exact coordinates — generated locally, nothing uploaded.

Runs locally — nothing is uploaded

Content type

Everything you enter stays on your device – nothing is uploaded or stored.

Higher levels stay readable when damaged or printed small — the code gets denser.

Dark modules on a light background scan most reliably.

Logo & branding

Logo and text sit centred on a clean knockout panel. Always test-scan before printing.

Enter text or a URL — your QR code appears instantly.

A location QR code opens the scanner's maps app directly at your coordinates — no address typing, no ambiguous place names. Perfect for event invitations, parking entrances, trailheads and meeting points that have no street address. Enter latitude and longitude below (find them with a long-press in Google Maps).

How does a location QR code work?

The code contains a geo: URI (RFC 5870) with decimal coordinates — for example geo:52.5163,13.3777 for Berlin's Brandenburg Gate. Phones open their default maps app at exactly that point, where the person can start navigation with one tap. Coordinates are unambiguous worldwide, unlike street addresses.

How do I find my coordinates?

In Google Maps, long-press the spot and the coordinates appear in the search bar (e.g. 52.51628, 13.37770). In Apple Maps, drop a pin and swipe up. Copy latitude (first number, −90…90) and longitude (second, −180…180) into the fields — a decimal comma works too.

How to create the code

  1. Find your coordinates (long-press in Google Maps) and paste latitude and longitude.
  2. Check the preview — invalid coordinates are rejected instead of producing a broken code.
  3. Download and add the code to invitations, signs or flyers.

Frequently asked questions

Which maps app opens on scan?

The phone's default: Apple Maps on iOS, Google Maps on Android. The geo: format is app-neutral, so the person's preferred maps app handles it.

Why coordinates instead of an address?

Coordinates are exact and unique worldwide. Addresses fail for trailheads, festival fields, beach access points and large venues with several entrances — a coordinate pin doesn't.

Is my location uploaded when creating the code?

No. The geo: URI is built entirely in your browser. Only people who scan your printed code learn the location — no server, no tracking.

What coordinate format do I need?

Decimal degrees: latitude −90 to 90, longitude −180 to 180 (e.g. 52.5163 and 13.3777). A decimal comma is converted automatically; out-of-range values are rejected.
