Location QR Code Generator
Point people to a map location with a geo QR code.
What is a location QR code?
A location QR code stores geographic coordinates. Scanning it opens a map at that point, so people can navigate to a venue, meeting spot or delivery location without an address search.
How to create one
Enter the latitude (−90 to 90) and longitude (−180 to 180). Choose a geo: URI, which opens the device's default map app, or a Google Maps URL that works on any browser. We validate the ranges before generating.
Finding coordinates
You can copy coordinates from most map apps by long-pressing a spot. This tool never accesses your location automatically — if a "use my location" control is offered, it only runs when you press it.
Where to use it
Use location codes on event invitations, wedding cards, property listings, trailheads and parking signs where a precise pin beats a street address.
Privacy and security
Coordinates are encoded locally and never uploaded. We do not request location permission unless you explicitly ask for it.
Limitations
The geo: scheme opens different apps on different phones, and some browsers handle it inconsistently. The Google Maps URL option is the most universally compatible.
Frequently asked questions
geo: URI or Google Maps URL — which should I pick?
geo: opens the default map app and is app-agnostic; the Maps URL works everywhere including desktop browsers. Choose based on your audience.
Does this track my location?
No. It only encodes the coordinates you type. We never request location access automatically.
What coordinate ranges are valid?
Latitude must be between −90 and 90, longitude between −180 and 180.
