A location QR code uses the geo: URI scheme. Scanning it opens Apple Maps, Google Maps, or whichever maps app the user has set as default — pre-positioned at the latitude and longitude you specified. Perfect for driving directions, hiking trail markers, store locators, and meeting points.
Top use cases
- Store locators. Print on flyers and packaging so customers can navigate to your store in one tap.
- Hiking trail markers. Trailhead signs with the GPS coordinates of the next waypoint.
- Meeting points. Conference badge with the QR for the official venue location.

Make a location QRFrequently asked questions
Where do I find lat/lng coordinates?
In Google Maps, right-click the spot you want and the coordinates appear at the top of the menu — click them to copy.
Will the QR work with Apple Maps?
Yes. The geo: scheme is recognized by Apple Maps, Google Maps, Waze, and most third-party maps apps.
Can I include driving directions, not just a pin?
For turn-by-turn directions, use a URL QR with a Google Maps directions URL (https://www.google.com/maps/dir/?api=1&destination=...).
