Location QR Code Generator for Google Maps, Addresses & Coordinates
To generate a QR code for a location, choose Location & Maps in TryQRMint, then enter a street address, paste a Google Maps share link, or type GPS coordinates. Customize it and download. When scanned, the place opens in a maps app with directions one tap away. Static location codes are free.
Why Choose TryQRMint for This Solution
Custom-branded QR codes, editable dynamic links and clear scan analytics in one dashboard.
Opens Directions in One Scan
A location QR code opens the place in Google Maps or the phone's default maps app, where visitors tap Directions instead of typing your address.
Address, Maps Link or Coordinates
Enter a street address, paste a Google Maps share link, or type latitude and longitude for places without a postal address, like a trailhead or a field gate.
Free Static or Editable Dynamic
Static location codes are free and never expire. Dynamic ones open a small page with 'Open in Google Maps' and 'Open in Apple Maps' buttons and can be moved to a new address later.
Address vs. Google Maps Link vs. GPS Coordinates
All three make a working map QR code. Pick the one that puts the pin exactly where people should go.
| Question | Street Address | Google Maps Link | GPS Coordinates |
|---|---|---|---|
| Best for | Homes, offices and shops with a clear postal address | Businesses with a Google listing (photos, hours, reviews) | Trailheads, rural venues, specific gates or car parks |
| What is encoded | Google Maps search for your address | The share link you paste | geo:lat,lng link |
| Opens in | Google Maps app or browser | Google Maps app or browser | The phone's default maps app |
| Watch out for | Ambiguous addresses; add city and postcode | Copy the place link, not a route or search result | Latitude first, then longitude; use decimals |
Map QR Code Opens the Wrong Place? Fix It Here
Pin lands on the wrong building
Switch to Coordinates. In Google Maps, long-press your entrance, copy the numbers shown (for example 37.7749, -122.4194), and enter them as latitude and longitude.
Address shows several results
Add the place name plus the city, postcode and country. Or use your Google Maps share link, which always points to one listing.
You are moving premises
Static codes can't change. If you expect to move, use a dynamic code and update the address in your dashboard, or reprint a new static code after the move.
How to Create a Location QR Code in 3 Steps
Start generating high-converting QR codes in less than 60 seconds.
Choose Location & Maps, Then an Input Method
In the Studio pick Location & Maps and choose Address (type the full street, city and postcode), Google Maps Link (Share > Copy link in Maps), or Coordinates (latitude and longitude). Adding a place name is optional.
Customize the Design
Pick colors with strong contrast, add a map-pin icon or your logo, and choose a frame such as 'Scan for directions'. Keep it static for a free, permanent code, or make it dynamic to edit it later.
Save, Download & Test
Sign in to your free account to save, download the PNG from your dashboard, and scan it on iPhone and Android to make sure the pin lands on your entrance.

Google Maps Search Link
Encodes a google.com/maps search URL for your address (and place name, if given).
Your Google Maps Share URL
Encodes the maps.app.goo.gl or google.com/maps link you paste, so it opens that exact listing.
geo: URI (RFC 5870)
Encodes geo:lat,lng, which opens in the phone's default maps app. Support varies slightly by device.
Free Static, or Dynamic
Static location codes count toward the free plan's 10 codes. Dynamic codes need a trial or paid plan.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find immediate answers regarding dynamic QR codes, analytics, formats, and commercial usage.
Open the Location QR Studio, choose Address, Google Maps Link, or Coordinates, and enter your location. Customize the colors and frame, then sign in to your free account to save it and download the PNG. Scan the result with your phone before printing.
In Google Maps, open the place, tap Share, and choose Copy link (it looks like https://maps.app.goo.gl/...). Paste it into the Google Maps Link option. This opens the exact listing, with its photos and reviews, rather than a general search.
Yes. Static location QR codes are included in the Free plan (up to 10 static codes, PNG download, no credit card) and never expire. You only need a free account to save and download. Dynamic location codes, which you can edit later, are in the 7-day trial and the Pro and Business plans.
No. The QR code only contains a fixed place; it cannot see where the person scanning is. Dynamic TryQRMint codes record approximate scan country and city from the network, not precise GPS positions.
Address and Google Maps links open in Google Maps (the app if installed, otherwise the browser). Coordinates use a geo: link that opens the phone's default maps app. Dynamic codes show a small page with both Google Maps and Apple Maps buttons.
Use at least 2 x 2 cm on invitations and cards. For signs, allow about 1 cm of code width per 10 cm of scanning distance, so a sign read from 2 m away needs a code about 20 cm wide. See our printing and sizing guide.
