How to make a location QR code
- Best: open Google Maps, find your place, tap Share and copy the link. This keeps the exact listing.
- Or type a full address including city and country.
- Or enter coordinates like 28.6139, 77.2090 for a spot without an address, such as a gate or parking area.
- Scan the preview and make sure the pin lands in the right place before printing.
Place link vs address vs coordinates
- Share link
- Opens your actual Google listing with photos, hours and reviews. Best for businesses.
- Address
- Creates a Maps search. Works well for homes and offices, but a vague address may show several results.
- Coordinates
- Most precise. Good for event entrances, campsites or large venues.
Uses
Wedding and event invitations
Guests get directions to the right gate, not just the venue name.
Flyers and adverts
Customers navigate to your shop straight from the flyer.
Hotel and rental check-in
Point to the exact parking or key-box location.
Limits
- The code does not check the address; a typo sends people to the wrong place.
- If your Google listing is removed or merged, a share link may stop working. Coordinates never change.
- This is not live location sharing.
