Do I need an exact address, or can I use coordinates?

Coordinates (latitude and longitude) work directly — that's often more precise than an address for a specific spot like a trailhead or venue entrance.

Which map app opens when someone scans it?

It typically opens the device's default map app — Google Maps on most Android phones, Apple Maps on iPhone.

Can I use this for a location with no formal street address?

Yes, that's one of the main advantages — coordinates work anywhere, even for spots without a standard mailing address.

Does Location QR upload my files to a server?

No. Location QR runs entirely in your browser using on-device processing, your files never leave your device.

About this tool

Describing a location in words, or even sharing a full maps URL, is clunkier than it needs to be when you just want someone to open their maps app at an exact spot. This tool generates a QR code that opens a map centered on a specific coordinate when scanned, useful on printed directions, event materials, or signage at a venue entrance where you want visitors to get instant directions without typing an address.
