Do Google Maps QR codes work on all smartphones?

Yes! Google Maps QR codes work on all modern smartphones (iPhone and Android). Simply point your camera at the QR code, and the location will open in Google Maps or your default maps application.

Can I use GPS coordinates instead of a Google Maps link?

Yes! You can create QR codes using GPS coordinates. Format them as:

Coordinate format:

https://www.google.com/maps?q=40.7580,-73.9855

Replace the numbers with your latitude and longitude coordinates.

Can I customize the QR code colors?

Yes! Our generator lets you customize the foreground and background colors to match your brand. You can also adjust the size, error correction level, and even add your logo to the center of the QR code.

Do the QR codes expire or stop working?

No! All QR codes we generate are static, which means they never expire and will work forever. The location data is embedded directly in the QR code itself, so there's no dependency on our service.

What's the difference between Google Maps QR codes and regular URL QR codes?

There's no technical difference - a Google Maps QR code is a type of URL QR code that specifically contains a Google Maps link. The benefit is that when scanned, it opens directly in the Maps app with navigation features, rather than just a regular webpage.

Can I track how many people scan my location QR code?

Our static QR codes don't include tracking to protect privacy. If you need scan analytics, you can use a URL shortener service (like bit.ly) with tracking enabled, shorten your Google Maps URL, then create a QR code from that shortened link.

What file formats can I download the QR code in?

You can download your Google Maps QR code as PNG (best for digital use and printing photos) or SVG (vector format that scales perfectly for large prints, signs, and professional printing).

Tips for Using Google Maps QR Codes

Best practices for maximum effectiveness

πŸ“ Size Matters

Print QR codes at least 2x2 cm (0.8x0.8 inches) for reliable scanning. For signage visible from a distance, make them larger - at least 10x10 cm (4x4 inches).

🎨 High Contrast

Use dark colors on light backgrounds for best scanning. While you can customize colors, ensure there's enough contrast for smartphone cameras to read the code easily.

πŸ“ Add Instructions

Include text like "Scan for directions" or "Get location on Google Maps" near the QR code. This increases scan rates by 30-40% compared to unlabeled codes.

πŸ§ͺ Test Before Printing

Always test your QR code with multiple smartphones before mass printing. Verify it opens the correct location and works with both iPhone and Android devices.

πŸ“ Be Specific

Use the exact Google Maps link for your business or location, not just a general address. This ensures the pin drops at the right entrance or building in multi-unit complexes.

🏒 Add Your Logo

Adding your company logo to the center of the QR code increases brand recognition and trust. Use error correction level "H" when adding logos to ensure reliability.
