Location QR Code Generator — Scan to Open the Map

Scan and the map opens on the exact spot — not the road, not the postcode, the spot. Give coordinates for somewhere with no address, or an address for somewhere with one.

Why use it

What you get.

Coordinates pin an exact place — a gate, a stand, a field entrance with no address

Or use a plain address or place name if the pin does not need to be precise

Opens the map app the phone already uses, and routing is one tap further

No account and no link shortener — nothing to expire or break

Nothing uploaded: the location is encoded on your device

Step by step

How it works

No manual required — but here's the whole flow, start to finish.

  1. For an exact spot, get the latitude and longitude — long-press the point in any map app to read them off

  2. Paste them into the coordinate fields; if you fill both, they take priority over the address

  3. Otherwise type an address or place name in the search field

  4. Download, then scan it standing somewhere else — check the pin lands where you meant

Under the hood

What the code actually contains

https://maps.google.com/?q=51.5007%2C-0.1246

An ordinary map URL rather than a geo: link, because URLs open reliably from every phone camera and geo: links do not.

Use cases

Who reaches for this.

01

Events and festivals

Point at the actual entrance rather than the middle of a field with one postcode.

02

Deliveries and trade sites

A code on the paperwork for the yard gate, not the office the postcode resolves to.

03

Invitations

A code on the card means nobody arrives at the wrong branch of the right venue.

04

Trails and signage

Waypoint codes that show exactly where you are and where the next marker is.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Coordinates or address — which should I use?

Coordinates when the exact metre matters, or when the place has no proper address. An address when it has a clear one and you would rather people see a recognisable name in the map.

Which map app opens?

The code holds a Google Maps URL. On Android it usually opens the Maps app; on iPhone it may open in the browser or in Google Maps if installed, and routing to Apple Maps is one tap away.

Where do I find latitude and longitude?

Long-press the spot in almost any map app and it shows a pair of numbers like 51.5007, -0.1246. Copy both — the first is latitude, the second longitude.

Does my data get uploaded anywhere?

No. The code is drawn in your browser with JavaScript — nothing you type is sent to AroraLabs or to any other server, and nothing is stored. You can prove it: load the tool, go offline, and it still works.
