Location QR Code

The code opens a point on the map, and the phone offers to build a route. You can paste coordinates as a link from any map or take them from your device.

Fine tuning

The empty margin around the code is how a scanner finds its edge. Without it, neighboring text or background gets in the frame and the code stops scanning. The standard requires four modules, that is four code cells.

Damage allowance: the code still scans even if part of it is worn, covered by a sticker or smudged. The higher the level, the more space the allowance takes, so with the same data the code grows in modules and each module gets smaller. If a logo is loaded, we set H ourselves: the logo covers part of the code.

The tool is free, with no sign-up and no watermarks. Use the image anywhere, including print and advertising.

Three ways to set the point

Paste a link from the address bar of a map service and the coordinates will be pulled from it. You can also enter the latitude and longitude by hand. Or press "Use my location" and the browser will ask for permission.

Maps order the numbers differently

Yandex Maps and 2GIS put longitude first in the link, while Google Maps and OpenStreetMap put latitude first. It is easy to mix them up: the point then jumps thousands of kilometers away. Each service is parsed by its own rule, so you never have to swap the numbers yourself.

Where the code leads

The phone will open the map app set as its default and show the point. The owner of the phone picks the app: the standard QR format cannot tie a code to one particular map.
