📖 How to Create Your Location QR Code in 4 Steps

Choose Address or GPS Mode
Use Address for businesses and venues. Use GPS Coordinates for exact pinpoint locations like remote sites or landmarks.

For addresses, include street, city, and country. For GPS, enter latitude and longitude (e.g. from Google Maps right-click → "What's here?").
Adjust Zoom (GPS Mode)
15 is street-level, perfect for most venues. Lower values show a wider area — ideal for event grounds or parks.
Generate & Customise
Click Generate — your QR appears instantly. Change colours, add your logo, adjust size to match your brand.
Download & Deploy
Download as PNG for digital or SVG for print. Place on storefronts, business cards, flyers, or event signage.

📖 Complete Guide: How to Use Location QR Codes for Your Business

Location QR codes are one of the most practical applications of QR technology. Instead of asking customers to type your address into their maps app, they simply scan the QR code and the location opens instantly — ready for navigation. This removes every friction point between a potential customer and your front door.

Why Location QR Codes Matter

For businesses, the journey from "I want to visit" to "I'm at the door" is critical. Any delay or confusion — a misspelled street name, an incorrect postcode, or a wrong turn — can cost you a customer. A location QR code ensures that every visitor arrives exactly where they need to be, every time. Whether you're a café, a hotel, a medical clinic, or a construction site, the accuracy and simplicity of a QR code can significantly improve customer experience and reduce support calls asking for directions.

Address vs GPS: Which Should You Use?

Address mode is best for businesses with a clear, well‑known street address — shops, restaurants, offices. The QR encodes a search string that Google Maps resolves to the correct location. It's simple and works for 99% of urban locations.

GPS mode is perfect for pinpoint accuracy. Use it for large venues (conference centres, parks, event grounds), remote locations (construction sites, rural properties), or any place where the address might be ambiguous. GPS coordinates are absolute and work everywhere on Earth.
