Location QR — FAQ
geo: link or Google Maps link — which should I pick?
For codes that will be scanned by phones (stickers, flyers, counters) use geo: — it opens the map app directly. If people might scan from a PC, pick the Google Maps link mode, since desktops handle https links better than geo: URIs.
Why won't my maps.app.goo.gl link work?
Short share links hide the coordinates inside a redirect — they can't be extracted client-side. Open that short link in a browser first, then copy the full address from the address bar and paste it here.
How accurate is it?
Six decimal places (what this tool uses) pinpoint within about a meter. Four decimals ≈ 10 m. For building entrances, use the pin-drop method rather than the center of the street.
Does it work on iPhone and Android?
Yes. geo: opens Apple Maps on iPhone and the default maps app on Android. Both camera apps scan it natively.
Can it point to a place name instead of coordinates?
This tool encodes exact coordinates for a precise pin. If you only know the place name, search it in Google Maps, long-press to drop a pin, then copy the link — that gives you the coordinates to paste here.
