Map location QR code
A scan opens Google Maps at your address or exact spot, ready for directions.
What is your QR code for?
Find it by
Type it as you would search for it in Google Maps, then scan the preview to check the pin.
Make one in three steps
- Search by address or place name, or switch to coordinates.
- Scan the preview and check the pin lands in the right spot.
- Print it on invitations, signs or booking confirmations.
What goes inside the code
An example, using sample details:
https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=Example%20Kitchen%2C%20High%20Street%2C%20London
- Use coordinates for awkward spots
- For a side entrance, a field gate or a car park, drop a pin in your map app, copy the latitude and longitude, and use Coordinates mode.
- Name the place clearly
- In address mode, include the business name and town, like "Example Kitchen, High Street, London". A vague search can bring up a result somewhere else entirely.
- Add it to booking emails
- Paste the PNG into confirmation emails or print it on tickets, so guests can find you on the day without searching.
Common questions
Does it open Apple Maps on iPhone?
The code opens a Google Maps link. On iPhone that opens the Google Maps app if it is installed, or the browser if not, which still shows the pin and offers directions.
How accurate are coordinates?
Coordinates are rounded to six decimal places, which is well under a metre. In practice the pin is only as accurate as the numbers you copy, so take them from a map zoomed right in.
What if my business moves?
A static code always opens the location you entered, so a move means a new code. If you expect to move, a dynamic code on a paid plan lets you change where it goes after printing.
