How to make a QR code for a location on the map
A location QR code opens a map to your address or venue, so guests and customers can start navigating with one scan instead of copying an address.
Using a Google Maps link
- Find the place in Google Maps, tap Share, and copy the link.
- In Scan QR Code Master, open My Codes and create a New Code with the Type set to URL.
- Paste the map link and generate the code.
- Add it to your invitation, poster, or storefront.
Tip
A map link is the most reliable choice because it opens on any phone. Test the code before you print it to make sure it lands on the exact spot you meant.
FAQ
- Will the location code open in the person's own maps app?
- A Google Maps share link generally opens Google Maps (or the browser). For most people that's ideal; if you need a specific behavior, test the link on the devices your audience uses.
