Is the location QR free to generate?

Yes. Building and downloading the QR is free with no signup and no watermark. Print it on wedding cards, signboards, or packaging straight away. There is no scan limit on the basic static QR.

Which map app opens when someone scans?

The QR encodes a Google Maps link, so it opens Google Maps by default on Android and iPhone. iPhone users who prefer Apple Maps can long-press the link and choose Open in Apple Maps. The same QR works on both.

Should I use an address or GPS coordinates?

Use address mode for normal shops, offices, and restaurants with a postal address. Use coordinates mode when there is no clear address: a farmhouse wedding venue, a stall in a large ground, or a spot where a name search drops the pin in the wrong place. You get coordinates by long-pressing the exact spot on Google Maps.

How accurate is the dropped pin?

Coordinate mode is exact to the decimal places you enter, so four to five decimals place the pin within a few metres. Address mode depends on Google Maps geocoding, which is very accurate for clear urban addresses but can drift in newer layouts and rural areas. For events, coordinates are safer.

Will guests get turn-by-turn directions?

Yes. After scanning, the map opens with your pin and a Directions button, so the guest taps once to get live navigation from wherever they are. This is why it is popular on Indian wedding invites and event posters.

Can I change the destination after printing the QR?

A basic static QR is fixed at the moment you generate it, so a new address means a new QR. If you expect the venue or address to change, a Dynamic QR (a Pro feature) lets you update the destination without reprinting the code.

Does it work without internet at the venue?

The scan needs a brief data connection to open the map, but once the map app has the pin, navigation continues even in weak-signal areas because map apps cache the route. For very remote venues, sharing coordinates is the most reliable option.

Can I put the location QR on my website or invite PDF?

Yes. Download the PNG for screens or the SVG for crisp printing, then place the image on your contact page, footer, wedding invite, or event landing page. Anyone who scans it from a screen or paper reaches the same pin.

How location QR codes work

The QR encodes a Google Maps URL that points at your address or specific coordinates. When scanned, Google Maps opens with the pin dropped and a Directions button. On iPhone, users can long-press to open in Apple Maps instead. Both platforms read the same QR. The user gets to your shop, venue, or event without typing a multi-line address or hunting for the right pin.

Google Maps vs Apple Maps

The QR uses a Google Maps URL because it works universally and is the default on every Android phone. iPhone users who prefer Apple Maps can long-press the result and pick Open in Apple Maps. Google Maps remains the most reliable for Indian addresses where Apple Maps geocoding is sometimes imperfect outside major metros.

Address mode vs coordinates mode

Address mode is easier for typical use: shops, restaurants, offices with a postal address. Type "Connaught Place, New Delhi" or "Brigade Road, Bangalore" and the QR opens that search. Coordinates mode is exact and useful when there is no clear address: a wedding venue inside a farm, a hiking start point, a temporary event location, or any place where the Google search returns the wrong pin. Get coordinates by long-pressing on Google Maps web and copying the lat/lng pair shown.

Use cases, events, shops, deliveries

On wedding cards so guests get directions instantly. On event posters and Insta Stories. On hotel and homestay confirmations. On shop signboards and visiting cards. On delivery boxes for the next-time-shop link to your store address. For home-service businesses (plumbers, electricians, salons) the QR replaces the awkward "WhatsApp me for directions" exchange. For multi-outlet chains, generate one QR per branch via our Bulk tool.
