QR code for location

Stores latitude and longitude so the person scanning can open the exact point in a map app.

A location QR is useful when a written address is not precise enough.

The code uses the geo:latitude,longitude format. After the scan, the phone decides which map or navigation app should handle the coordinates.

Where this QR helps

What happens after the scan

The phone reads the coordinates and offers to open them in a mapping app. The exact app depends on the operating system and what is installed on the device.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use a normal street address instead?

This page encodes raw coordinates. If you already have a full map link, the regular URL page may be more practical.

Which map app opens after the scan?

That depends on the device. One phone may prefer Apple Maps, another Google Maps, and another may show a choice.

Why use this if the address is already printed?

Because text addresses are often less precise. Coordinates are better for large sites, parking areas, and temporary venues.
