Step 1
Get your coordinates
Long-press your exact spot in Google Maps and copy the two numbers. Precision matters more than format — the difference between the entrance and the loading dock is one decimal place.

Google Maps QR code generator — scan for directions
A map QR code turns "how do we find you" into one scan: the phone opens its maps app on your location with directions a tap away. On event invitations, delivery instructions, business cards and estate boards, it replaces an address someone would otherwise retype — and mistype.
Coordinates beat street addresses for anything hard to find: a market stall, a site office, gate 3 of a venue. The pin lands where you put it, not where geocoding guesses your address is.

Logo
This is the app's own renderer and its own scannability check, running in your browser — the logo included never leaves your device. Every preset on this shelf is decode-audited before it ships.
Scannability: Excellent
No watermark, no account. Print-grade: whole pixels per module.
A Google Maps URL with coordinates opens reliably on both platforms and falls back to the browser. The geo: format also works but behaves less consistently on iOS.
How to get it right
Step 2
Encode the maps URL
The ?q=lat,lng form opens in the native app when there is one and in the browser when there isn't, on both iOS and Android.
Step 3
Print it where the journey starts
Invitations, booking confirmations, the bottom of the flyer. Test-scan and check the pin lands on your door, not your roof's other corner.
The honest catch
This code is permanent. That's its strength — and its limit.
What you make here is a static code: the content is encoded in the grid itself, it never expires, and it needs nothing from us to keep working — print it and forget us. The one thing it can never do is change. A dynamic code encodes a short link you can repoint any time after printing, counts every scan, and can carry your own domain. That's the paid product, and it starts with a free trial.
Questions
Will it open Apple Maps on iPhone?
A Google Maps URL opens the Google Maps app if installed, otherwise the browser — from which iOS users can jump to Apple Maps. Coordinates survive whichever app takes the handoff.
What if the venue moves?
The pin in a static code is permanent — reprint, or use a dynamic code from the start and repoint it when you move. For seasonal or pop-up locations, dynamic is the honest default.
