Google Maps QR code for directions

Type an address or paste a Google Maps link, and a scan opens the place in Google Maps. Free, no account.

Dynamic & Editable

Change where it points after printing, and see who scans it.

What you would type into a maps app. Or give exact coordinates, or paste a maps link.

From Google Maps or Apple Maps: Share, then Copy link.

Your code is drawn as you type.

This is an example. Type a destination to download yours.

A pin people can’t misread

Signs go wrong at the address: a missed unit number, a car park round the back, a venue with two doors. Give the exact pin and the scan lands on it.

Coordinates to about 11 cm

We keep six decimal places, and a comma works as the decimal point. When you fill in both, the coordinates win.

Move the pin after printing

Save it as an editable code with a free account and change the place whenever you need to.

Which board sent people, and from where

Every board and flyer drop with its own count

One code for the yard sign, one for the window card, one for the flyer: the list says which people follow. Folders by listing come with Starter and up.

An estate agent’s QR codes - yard signs for two listings, an open-house flyer and neighbourhood flyer drops - each with its short link on the agency’s own domain, its scan count and its folder.

The towns your visitors scan in

Scans by country on every plan, and by town with Pro and Business. Never a street, and no IP address kept.

Scans of a café’s table-tent code by city, the top six: Portland with 60%, then Vancouver, Beaverton, Seattle, San Francisco and London, each with its count, a bar and its share.

Watch a new sign start working

Dots appear on the globe within seconds of each scan. The Live Map comes with Starter and up.

The Live Map: a pale globe turned to North America, its land drawn in dark hexagon dots, with red marks on the towns where a coffee company’s codes were scanned in the last 24 hours, the day’s scan and country counts in the corner, and the latest scans listed underneath, newest first.

Which map each phone opens

A static code holds one Google Maps link: it opens the Google Maps app where it’s installed and the browser where it isn’t. An editable code picks the map at each scan.

EditableAndroid, computerGoogle Maps

Safari on an iPad identifies itself as a Mac, so an iPad gets Google Maps. The static link for a pin looks like google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=59.9075%2C10.7531.

Address, coordinates or a link

Any one of the three makes the code.

  • An address for a place people can find by name: “14 Harbour Road, Bergen”.
  • Coordinates for a spot with no address of its own: a field, a trailhead, a side door. Long-press the spot in Google Maps and copy the two numbers.
  • A Google Maps link from the address bar: we read the pin out of it. A maps.app.goo.gl short link from Share hides the pin, so it’s kept whole and opens Google Maps everywhere.

Test the pin before you print

  • Zoom all the way in. The pin should sit on the door people use, not the middle of the building.
  • Press Directions. Check the route a stranger gets from the nearest main road.
  • Scan from the sign’s distance: across the pavement, from the car, from the back of the queue.
  • Editable code? Scan with an iPhone and an Android phone. Both maps should show the same spot.

Places that move

  • Open houses: the same arrow boards, pointed at next Saturday’s property.
  • Food trucks and market pitches: this week’s spot, not spring’s.
  • Moving premises: the old window’s posters send people to the new address.
  • Trails and hunts: change one leg without replacing the post.

Location codes, answered

How do I make a QR code for my location?

Type the address or paste the Google Maps link above, then download. A static code needs no account and never expires.

Why does the pin land on the wrong building?

The map app matches the address text, and the match can be off by a building or a street. Coordinates from the exact spot leave nothing to match.

Directions on an invitation? The event QR code puts the date in their calendar too. Branch networks can make location codes from their own systems with the QR code API.
