Location QR Code Generator
Turn GPS coordinates into a scannable map pin. One scan opens the exact spot and offers directions - ideal for events, stores and meeting points.
How to Create a Location QR Code
A location QR code encodes a geo: URI built from a latitude and longitude. When
scanned, the phone opens its default maps app centred on that exact point, so anyone can navigate
there in a tap - no address typing, no ambiguity about which "Main Street" you meant.
Step by step
- Find your latitude and longitude in decimal degrees (e.g.
37.7749,-122.4194). - Enter both values; coordinates are range-checked so an invalid pin never gets encoded.
- Add an optional label to name the spot, then download the code.
Great for
Events & Venues
Put the exact entrance on invites and tickets so guests arrive at the right door.
Real Estate
Listings and yard signs that drop a pin on the property instantly.
Meeting Points
Trailheads, parking spots or booths that are hard to describe by address.
Finding coordinates & tips
- In Google Maps, right-click (desktop) or long-press (mobile) a location to reveal its latitude and longitude.
- Use decimal degrees, not degrees-minutes-seconds. Latitude is -90 to 90, longitude -180 to 180.
- South latitudes and west longitudes are negative (e.g.
-122.4194for San Francisco).
Location QR Code FAQ
How does a location QR code work?
It encodes a geo: URI from your coordinates. Scanning opens the maps app at that exact point, ready for directions.
Where do I find my coordinates?
Right-click (or long-press) the spot in Google Maps and copy the latitude and longitude it shows.
What format should I use?
Decimal degrees, such as 37.7749 and -122.4194. Out-of-range values are rejected so the code stays valid.
Which maps app opens?
The device's default - Google Maps or Apple Maps on most phones - centred on your pin.
