What is a Location QR Code?

A location QR code, also called a Google Maps QR code or map QR code, is a QR code that opens a specific location on Google Maps. When someone scans it, they can view the address, check the route, and start navigation.

You can create a QR code for any location that has a shareable Google Maps link, including a business listing, address, dropped pin, current location pin, or GPS coordinates opened in Google Maps.

What Google Maps Locations Can You Turn Into QR Codes?

QRCodeChimp creates a location QR code from a Google Maps link. You can use any location that can be opened and shared from Google Maps.

Business Listing

Search for a listed store, restaurant, hotel, office, venue, or attraction on Google Maps and copy its share link.

Street Address

Search for an address on Google Maps, confirm the pin, and copy the share link to create a QR code for that address.

Dropped Pin

Drop or select a pin on Google Maps for a current location, pop-up site, meetup spot, stall, or temporary venue.

GPS Coordinates

Enter latitude and longitude in Google Maps, open the exact spot, and copy the share link to create a QR code for that location.

Folders and Sub-accounts
Organize QR codes with folders and sub-accounts so teams can manage location QR codes by campaign, branch, region, or client. This keeps large QR code projects easier to handle.

We are currently using a QR code that easily leads our customers to find the nearest Dr. Diabeat Digital Diabetes Clinic available and keeps our clients connected to us. QRCodeChimp is very easy to use and does work for all my clients.

We had 100% participation!

I created QR codes of different shapes to collect feedback at our church. Putting the survey online was the best option. The shapes offered by QRCodeChimp were just what I was looking for, and I was able to print labels with two different shapes. Thanks to the unique and amazing shapes, we had 100% participation! I especially loved the instructions and guidance offered on your website for creating codes.

Very good experience using your services!

QRCodeChimp exceeds all my expectations. With a great variety of features and options, it's difficult to decide which one's my favorite. I like them all, and I'm totally satisfied with QRCodeChimp.

I love the different templates that can be used for the QR code that you offer!

Your site is so user-friendly. I had never created a QR code prior to signing up and now I feel like an expert. So many options and ways to customize. I absolute love it.

Love the fact you can bespoke the 'shape' of the QR code away from the BAU square.

Great, really easy to use and I love the company name too. love your name, logo, brand generally and the simplicity of being able to create QR codes for free - just keep up the great work people!

I really enjoy the site.

I'm a teacher and with all the links for students, it can be overwhelming. I use the shape feature the most. I use it for clubs, classes, and sports. Personally, I use it for my singing group.

Your website made it doable for someone like me who is technically challenged.

Thank you for offering a free service. This was for a work project, and I had a quick turnaround time and no extra funds. I will definitely tell others about QRCodeChimp.

QRCodeChimp is straightforward and easy to use

Having the ability to show my first client a QR code that linked to the demo page immediately got his attention. I was able to make a QR code for it with a shape for his business and FB page. The ability to put a social media icon in the middle of the QR code to show where that code leads is extremely helpful, as well as being able to create codes in different shapes relating to the client's business and colors similar to their logo or color scheme really helps make them a satisfied client.
