What is a Location QR code?
A Location QR code is a scannable QR code that opens a map and pinpoints an exact address or location. When scanned, users are taken straight to a maps app (typically Google Maps or Apple Maps) and can start navigation in seconds.
It’s ideal for businesses and events that want to make it effortless for people to find the right place—no typing, no errors, and fewer “Where are you?” messages.
How does it work?
The QR code encodes either a map link or GPS coordinates. After scanning, the phone opens the maps app, shows the location, and provides a “Directions” option.
