Guide Guests to Your Doorstep: Location QR Codes
"IT'S NEXT TO THE BIG TREE." Ambiguous directions ruin events. A Location QR Code solves this by embedding precise GPS coordinates (or a Google Maps link) that navigates users directly to your doorstep.
What is a Location QR Code?
A Location QR Code encodes a map URL or 'geo:' coordinates. Scanning it triggers the user's preferred navigation app (Google Maps, Apple Maps, Waze) with the destination pre-set.
It works globally and eliminates the risk of typing errors, especially for locations with tricky spellings or no official street address.
Why Use Location QRs?
Precision
Drops a pin on the exact entrance, not just the street.
Convenience
One tap to 'Start Navigation'. No typing required.
Universal
Works with any map app installed on the user's phone.
Reliability
Great for rural areas or new developments missing from search.
How to Create One
1. Find Your Spot
Open Google Maps and drop a pin EXACTLY where you want people to arrive.
2. Copy the Link
Click 'Share' and copy the link. Short links work, but full coordinates are safer.
3. Generator
Paste the link into the QR generator using the 'URL' type.
4. Verify
Scan it and ensure it opens the Maps app, not just a browser preview.
Best Use Cases
Weddings & Events
Put it on the invite. 'Scan for directions to the Secret Garden Venue'.
Real Estate Signage
Help drive-by buyers navigate to the open house or viewing office.
Airbnb & Rentals
A sticker on the fridge: 'Scan for nearest grocery store' or 'Emergency Hospital'.

Create a Location QR Code and never send a 'Where are you?' text again.
Create Location QRCommon Issues
Drifting Pins
Always double-check the pin placement. Sometimes 'Address' lookups place the pin in the center of the zip code.
No Internet
Maps require data. If your venue is in a dead zone, print a static map backup.
Location FAQ
Does it work on Waze?
Yes. Most phones ask which app to open the link with.
Can I hide the address text?
Yes, the QR just contains the link. You can print whatever text you want around it.
