What is a Location QR code?
A location QR code stores a map point. When scanned, it opens the map on the phone so people can see the spot and get directions in a tap.
Instead of writing out an address, you share the exact place. It helps guests find a venue, an event entrance, a store, or a delivery point without guessing, which matters most in large or hard-to-describe locations.
What a location QR code includes
- Coordinates or place
- The latitude and longitude, or a place the map can find, so it drops the pin in the right spot.

Style it to match your brand
