A location QR code opens a map at the exact spot you choose, ready for directions. It is perfect when your address is hard to describe: a villa in a community with no street names, a unit inside a mall, a stand at an exhibition hall or a pickup point.
Enter the latitude and longitude of the spot and choose how it opens: Google Maps, Waze (popular with Dubai drivers) or the phone’s default maps app.
How to create a Location / Google Maps QR code
- Select Location in the generator.
- Enter the latitude and longitude (right-click the spot in Google Maps to copy them) and choose Google Maps, Waze or the default maps app.
- Style the code and download it.
- Scan it on a phone and confirm the pin is on the right entrance.
Where location QR codes help
- Showrooms, clinics and offices on appointment cards and email signatures.
- Events and exhibitions with a venue entrance or parking pin.
- Delivery and pickup points on invoices.
- Real estate viewing locations on listings.
Tips for a QR code that scans first time
- Drop the pin on the entrance people will actually use, not the centre of the building.
- Combine with a Google review code on the same card to turn visitors into reviews.
- Use a dynamic URL code if the location may change.
